Lets's calculate LCM of 803,516
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 414348
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/414348
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3480/803,2426/516 is 2/414348
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 803,516 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(803,516) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(803,516) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(803,516) = ( 803 × 516 ) / 1
LCM(803,516) = 414348 / 1
LCM(803,516) = 414348
