Lets's calculate LCM of 773,4078
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3152294
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/3152294
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1948/773,9472/4078 is 4/3152294
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 773,4078 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(773,4078) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(773,4078) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(773,4078) = ( 773 × 4078 ) / 1
LCM(773,4078) = 3152294 / 1
LCM(773,4078) = 3152294
