Lets's calculate LCM of 503,7400
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3722200
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 58/3722200
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3886/503,2842/7400 is 58/3722200
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 503,7400 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(503,7400) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(503,7400) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(503,7400) = ( 503 × 7400 ) / 1
LCM(503,7400) = 3722200 / 1
LCM(503,7400) = 3722200
