Lets's calculate LCM of 871,444
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 386724
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/386724
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7388/871,5576/444 is 4/386724
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 871,444 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(871,444) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(871,444) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(871,444) = ( 871 × 444 ) / 1
LCM(871,444) = 386724 / 1
LCM(871,444) = 386724
