Lets's calculate LCM of 272,877
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 238544
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/238544
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4248/272,3985/877 is 1/238544
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 272,877 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(272,877) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(272,877) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(272,877) = ( 272 × 877 ) / 1
LCM(272,877) = 238544 / 1
LCM(272,877) = 238544
