Lets's calculate LCM of 277,9435
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2613495
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2613495
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 80/277,4242/9435 is 2/2613495
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 277,9435 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(277,9435) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(277,9435) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(277,9435) = ( 277 × 9435 ) / 1
LCM(277,9435) = 2613495 / 1
LCM(277,9435) = 2613495
