So the greatest common factor 2784,8472 is 24.
Lets's calculate LCM of 478,1817
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 868526
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 24/868526
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2784/478,8472/1817 is 24/868526
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 478,1817 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(478,1817) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(478,1817) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(478,1817) = ( 478 × 1817 ) / 1
LCM(478,1817) = 868526 / 1
LCM(478,1817) = 868526
