Lets's calculate LCM of 127,278
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 35306
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/35306
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7468/127,4209/278 is 1/35306
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 127,278 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(127,278) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(127,278) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(127,278) = ( 127 × 278 ) / 1
LCM(127,278) = 35306 / 1
LCM(127,278) = 35306
