Lets's calculate LCM of 428,3309
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1416252
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1416252
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5278/428,9500/3309 is 2/1416252
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 428,3309 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(428,3309) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(428,3309) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(428,3309) = ( 428 × 3309 ) / 1
LCM(428,3309) = 1416252 / 1
LCM(428,3309) = 1416252
