Lets's calculate LCM of 293,7087
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2076491
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2076491
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4438/293,8278/7087 is 2/2076491
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 293,7087 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(293,7087) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(293,7087) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(293,7087) = ( 293 × 7087 ) / 1
LCM(293,7087) = 2076491 / 1
LCM(293,7087) = 2076491
