Lets's calculate LCM of 284,485
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 137740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/137740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2516/284,8674/485 is 2/137740
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 284,485 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(284,485) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(284,485) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(284,485) = ( 284 × 485 ) / 1
LCM(284,485) = 137740 / 1
LCM(284,485) = 137740
