Lets's calculate LCM of 262,5837
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1529294
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1529294
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2892/262,3890/5837 is 2/1529294
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 262,5837 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(262,5837) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(262,5837) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(262,5837) = ( 262 × 5837 ) / 1
LCM(262,5837) = 1529294 / 1
LCM(262,5837) = 1529294
