Lets's calculate LCM of 701,897
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 628797
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/628797
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5255/701,7884/897 is 1/628797
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 701,897 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(701,897) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(701,897) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(701,897) = ( 701 × 897 ) / 1
LCM(701,897) = 628797 / 1
LCM(701,897) = 628797
