Lets's calculate LCM of 827,2523
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2086521
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2086521
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7488/827,3171/2523 is 3/2086521
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 827,2523 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(827,2523) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(827,2523) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(827,2523) = ( 827 × 2523 ) / 1
LCM(827,2523) = 2086521 / 1
LCM(827,2523) = 2086521
