Lets's calculate LCM of 823,721
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 593383
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/593383
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 486/823,2932/721 is 2/593383
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 823,721 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(823,721) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(823,721) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(823,721) = ( 823 × 721 ) / 1
LCM(823,721) = 593383 / 1
LCM(823,721) = 593383
