Lets's calculate LCM of 512,845
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 432640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/432640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8962/512,2534/845 is 2/432640
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 512,845 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(512,845) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(512,845) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(512,845) = ( 512 × 845 ) / 1
LCM(512,845) = 432640 / 1
LCM(512,845) = 432640
