Lets's calculate LCM of 772,4529
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3496388
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3496388
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5262/772,8979/4529 is 3/3496388
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 772,4529 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(772,4529) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(772,4529) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(772,4529) = ( 772 × 4529 ) / 1
LCM(772,4529) = 3496388 / 1
LCM(772,4529) = 3496388
