Lets's calculate LCM of 919,1996
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1834324
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1834324
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5260/919,3704/1996 is 4/1834324
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 919,1996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(919,1996) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(919,1996) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(919,1996) = ( 919 × 1996 ) / 1
LCM(919,1996) = 1834324 / 1
LCM(919,1996) = 1834324
