Lets's calculate LCM of 874,8879
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7760246
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7760246
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2042/874,8895/8879 is 1/7760246
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 874,8879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(874,8879) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(874,8879) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(874,8879) = ( 874 × 8879 ) / 1
LCM(874,8879) = 7760246 / 1
LCM(874,8879) = 7760246
