Lets's calculate LCM of 268,7637
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2046716
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2046716
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5222/268,4478/7637 is 2/2046716
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 268,7637 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(268,7637) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(268,7637) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(268,7637) = ( 268 × 7637 ) / 1
LCM(268,7637) = 2046716 / 1
LCM(268,7637) = 2046716
