Lets's calculate LCM of 288,5329
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1534752
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1534752
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3886/288,6472/5329 is 2/1534752
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 288,5329 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(288,5329) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(288,5329) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(288,5329) = ( 288 × 5329 ) / 1
LCM(288,5329) = 1534752 / 1
LCM(288,5329) = 1534752
