Lets's calculate LCM of 502,373
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 187246
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/187246
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6212/502,8386/373 is 2/187246
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 502,373 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(502,373) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(502,373) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(502,373) = ( 502 × 373 ) / 1
LCM(502,373) = 187246 / 1
LCM(502,373) = 187246
