Lets's calculate LCM of 318,7769
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2470542
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2470542
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 56/318,2846/7769 is 2/2470542
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 318,7769 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(318,7769) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(318,7769) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(318,7769) = ( 318 × 7769 ) / 1
LCM(318,7769) = 2470542 / 1
LCM(318,7769) = 2470542
