Lets's calculate LCM of 516,8545
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4409220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4409220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1557/516,8372/8545 is 1/4409220
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 516,8545 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(516,8545) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(516,8545) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(516,8545) = ( 516 × 8545 ) / 1
LCM(516,8545) = 4409220 / 1
LCM(516,8545) = 4409220
