Lets's calculate LCM of 516,287
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 148092
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/148092
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 378/516,448/287 is 14/148092
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 516,287 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(516,287) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(516,287) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(516,287) = ( 516 × 287 ) / 1
LCM(516,287) = 148092 / 1
LCM(516,287) = 148092
