Lets's calculate LCM of 305,419
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 127795
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/127795
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 976/305,2686/419 is 2/127795
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 305,419 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(305,419) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(305,419) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(305,419) = ( 305 × 419 ) / 1
LCM(305,419) = 127795 / 1
LCM(305,419) = 127795
