Lets's calculate LCM of 278,5625
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1563750
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1563750
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 392/278,1492/5625 is 4/1563750
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 278,5625 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(278,5625) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(278,5625) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(278,5625) = ( 278 × 5625 ) / 1
LCM(278,5625) = 1563750 / 1
LCM(278,5625) = 1563750
