Lets's calculate LCM of 723,506
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 365838
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/365838
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5178/723,7922/506 is 2/365838
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 723,506 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(723,506) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(723,506) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(723,506) = ( 723 × 506 ) / 1
LCM(723,506) = 365838 / 1
LCM(723,506) = 365838
