Lets's calculate LCM of 884,2677
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2366468
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2366468
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2562/884,7208/2677 is 2/2366468
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 884,2677 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(884,2677) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(884,2677) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(884,2677) = ( 884 × 2677 ) / 1
LCM(884,2677) = 2366468 / 1
LCM(884,2677) = 2366468
