Lets's calculate LCM of 878,477
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 418806
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/418806
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5336/878,3282/477 is 2/418806
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 878,477 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(878,477) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(878,477) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(878,477) = ( 878 × 477 ) / 1
LCM(878,477) = 418806 / 1
LCM(878,477) = 418806
