Lets's calculate LCM of 257,3845
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 988165
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/988165
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7798/257,3858/3845 is 2/988165
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 257,3845 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,3845) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,3845) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,3845) = ( 257 × 3845 ) / 1
LCM(257,3845) = 988165 / 1
LCM(257,3845) = 988165
