So the greatest common factor 7222,7868 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 281,7877
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2213437
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2213437
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7222/281,7868/7877 is 2/2213437
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 281,7877 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(281,7877) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(281,7877) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(281,7877) = ( 281 × 7877 ) / 1
LCM(281,7877) = 2213437 / 1
LCM(281,7877) = 2213437
