Lets's calculate LCM of 821,6988
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5737148
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/5737148
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1077/821,4518/6988 is 3/5737148
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 821,6988 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(821,6988) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(821,6988) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(821,6988) = ( 821 × 6988 ) / 1
LCM(821,6988) = 5737148 / 1
LCM(821,6988) = 5737148
