Lets's calculate LCM of 421,2886
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1215006
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1215006
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2196/421,9470/2886 is 2/1215006
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 421,2886 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(421,2886) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(421,2886) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(421,2886) = ( 421 × 2886 ) / 1
LCM(421,2886) = 1215006 / 1
LCM(421,2886) = 1215006
