Lets's calculate LCM of 869,268
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 232892
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/232892
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7756/869,2740/268 is 4/232892
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 869,268 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(869,268) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(869,268) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(869,268) = ( 869 × 268 ) / 1
LCM(869,268) = 232892 / 1
LCM(869,268) = 232892
