Lets's calculate LCM of 277,955
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 264535
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/264535
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3812/277,7382/955 is 2/264535
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 277,955 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(277,955) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(277,955) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(277,955) = ( 277 × 955 ) / 1
LCM(277,955) = 264535 / 1
LCM(277,955) = 264535
