Lets's calculate LCM of 827,740
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 611980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/611980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2522/827,1932/740 is 2/611980
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 827,740 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(827,740) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(827,740) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(827,740) = ( 827 × 740 ) / 1
LCM(827,740) = 611980 / 1
LCM(827,740) = 611980
