So the greatest common factor 2782,2388 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 921,1859
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1712139
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1712139
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2782/921,2388/1859 is 2/1712139
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 921,1859 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(921,1859) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(921,1859) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(921,1859) = ( 921 × 1859 ) / 1
LCM(921,1859) = 1712139 / 1
LCM(921,1859) = 1712139
