Lets's calculate LCM of 425,8489
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3607825
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/3607825
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5272/425,2664/8489 is 8/3607825
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 425,8489 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(425,8489) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(425,8489) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(425,8489) = ( 425 × 8489 ) / 1
LCM(425,8489) = 3607825 / 1
LCM(425,8489) = 3607825
