Lets's calculate LCM of 285,3902
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1112070
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1112070
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5486/285,3856/3902 is 2/1112070
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 285,3902 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(285,3902) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(285,3902) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(285,3902) = ( 285 × 3902 ) / 1
LCM(285,3902) = 1112070 / 1
LCM(285,3902) = 1112070
