Lets's calculate LCM of 391,256
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 100096
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/100096
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1970/391,6886/256 is 2/100096
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 391,256 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(391,256) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(391,256) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(391,256) = ( 391 × 256 ) / 1
LCM(391,256) = 100096 / 1
LCM(391,256) = 100096
