Lets's calculate LCM of 605,7826
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4734730
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/4734730
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4240/605,6688/7826 is 16/4734730
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 605,7826 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(605,7826) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(605,7826) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(605,7826) = ( 605 × 7826 ) / 1
LCM(605,7826) = 4734730 / 1
LCM(605,7826) = 4734730
