Lets's calculate LCM of 809,3471
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2808039
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2808039
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2488/809,6938/3471 is 2/2808039
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 809,3471 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(809,3471) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(809,3471) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(809,3471) = ( 809 × 3471 ) / 1
LCM(809,3471) = 2808039 / 1
LCM(809,3471) = 2808039
