Lets's calculate LCM of 521,7740
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4032540
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 26/4032540
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1066/521,7878/7740 is 26/4032540
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 521,7740 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(521,7740) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(521,7740) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(521,7740) = ( 521 × 7740 ) / 1
LCM(521,7740) = 4032540 / 1
LCM(521,7740) = 4032540
