Lets's calculate LCM of 284,6577
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1867868
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1867868
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3788/284,4252/6577 is 4/1867868
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 284,6577 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(284,6577) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(284,6577) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(284,6577) = ( 284 × 6577 ) / 1
LCM(284,6577) = 1867868 / 1
LCM(284,6577) = 1867868
