Lets's calculate LCM of 137,4208
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 576496
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/576496
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 844/137,1280/4208 is 4/576496
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 137,4208 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(137,4208) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(137,4208) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(137,4208) = ( 137 × 4208 ) / 1
LCM(137,4208) = 576496 / 1
LCM(137,4208) = 576496
