Lets's calculate LCM of 721,5455
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3933055
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/3933055
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2588/721,8136/5455 is 4/3933055
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 721,5455 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(721,5455) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(721,5455) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(721,5455) = ( 721 × 5455 ) / 1
LCM(721,5455) = 3933055 / 1
LCM(721,5455) = 3933055
