Lets's calculate LCM of 943,2520
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2376360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2376360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5156/943,3786/2520 is 2/2376360
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 943,2520 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(943,2520) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(943,2520) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(943,2520) = ( 943 × 2520 ) / 1
LCM(943,2520) = 2376360 / 1
LCM(943,2520) = 2376360
