Lets's calculate LCM of 427,2083
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 889441
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/889441
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5596/427,3386/2083 is 2/889441
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 427,2083 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(427,2083) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(427,2083) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(427,2083) = ( 427 × 2083 ) / 1
LCM(427,2083) = 889441 / 1
LCM(427,2083) = 889441
