Lets's calculate LCM of 276,505
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 139380
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/139380
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 886/276,518/505 is 2/139380
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 276,505 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(276,505) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(276,505) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(276,505) = ( 276 × 505 ) / 1
LCM(276,505) = 139380 / 1
LCM(276,505) = 139380
