Lets's calculate LCM of 541,378
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 204498
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/204498
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2616/541,4870/378 is 2/204498
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 541,378 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(541,378) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(541,378) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(541,378) = ( 541 × 378 ) / 1
LCM(541,378) = 204498 / 1
LCM(541,378) = 204498
