Lets's calculate LCM of 15,7928
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 118920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/118920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 430/15,538/7928 is 2/118920
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 15,7928 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,7928) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,7928) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(15,7928) = ( 15 × 7928 ) / 1
LCM(15,7928) = 118920 / 1
LCM(15,7928) = 118920
