Lets's calculate LCM of 881,6721
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5921201
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/5921201
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5272/881,1080/6721 is 8/5921201
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 881,6721 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(881,6721) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(881,6721) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(881,6721) = ( 881 × 6721 ) / 1
LCM(881,6721) = 5921201 / 1
LCM(881,6721) = 5921201
