Lets's calculate LCM of 837,5720
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4787640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4787640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4646/837,4168/5720 is 2/4787640
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 837,5720 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(837,5720) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(837,5720) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(837,5720) = ( 837 × 5720 ) / 1
LCM(837,5720) = 4787640 / 1
LCM(837,5720) = 4787640
