Lets's calculate LCM of 764,8135
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6215140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6215140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3978/764,9518/8135 is 2/6215140
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 764,8135 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(764,8135) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(764,8135) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(764,8135) = ( 764 × 8135 ) / 1
LCM(764,8135) = 6215140 / 1
LCM(764,8135) = 6215140
