Lets's calculate LCM of 957,779
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 745503
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/745503
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4888/957,3136/779 is 8/745503
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 957,779 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(957,779) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(957,779) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(957,779) = ( 957 × 779 ) / 1
LCM(957,779) = 745503 / 1
LCM(957,779) = 745503
