Lets's calculate LCM of 312,427
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 133224
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/133224
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2688/312,2186/427 is 2/133224
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 312,427 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(312,427) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(312,427) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(312,427) = ( 312 × 427 ) / 1
LCM(312,427) = 133224 / 1
LCM(312,427) = 133224
