Lets's calculate LCM of 862,1879
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1619698
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1619698
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2760/862,2882/1879 is 2/1619698
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 862,1879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(862,1879) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(862,1879) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(862,1879) = ( 862 × 1879 ) / 1
LCM(862,1879) = 1619698 / 1
LCM(862,1879) = 1619698
