Lets's calculate LCM of 539,2227
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1200353
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1200353
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1872/539,8422/2227 is 2/1200353
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 539,2227 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(539,2227) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(539,2227) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(539,2227) = ( 539 × 2227 ) / 1
LCM(539,2227) = 1200353 / 1
LCM(539,2227) = 1200353
