Lets's calculate LCM of 504,793
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 399672
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/399672
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1456/504,2542/793 is 2/399672
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 504,793 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(504,793) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(504,793) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(504,793) = ( 504 × 793 ) / 1
LCM(504,793) = 399672 / 1
LCM(504,793) = 399672
