Lets's calculate LCM of 192,877
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 168384
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/168384
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2918/192,3956/877 is 2/168384
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 192,877 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(192,877) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(192,877) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(192,877) = ( 192 × 877 ) / 1
LCM(192,877) = 168384 / 1
LCM(192,877) = 168384
