Lets's calculate LCM of 657,2878
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1890846
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1890846
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5836/657,6816/2878 is 4/1890846
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 657,2878 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(657,2878) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(657,2878) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(657,2878) = ( 657 × 2878 ) / 1
LCM(657,2878) = 1890846 / 1
LCM(657,2878) = 1890846
