Lets's calculate LCM of 467,7982
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3727594
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3727594
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8278/467,3490/7982 is 2/3727594
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 467,7982 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(467,7982) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(467,7982) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(467,7982) = ( 467 × 7982 ) / 1
LCM(467,7982) = 3727594 / 1
LCM(467,7982) = 3727594
