Lets's calculate LCM of 275,8956
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2462900
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/2462900
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2588/275,6736/8956 is 4/2462900
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 275,8956 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(275,8956) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(275,8956) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(275,8956) = ( 275 × 8956 ) / 1
LCM(275,8956) = 2462900 / 1
LCM(275,8956) = 2462900
