Lets's calculate LCM of 740,839
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 620860
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/620860
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5281/740,5372/839 is 1/620860
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 740,839 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(740,839) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(740,839) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(740,839) = ( 740 × 839 ) / 1
LCM(740,839) = 620860 / 1
LCM(740,839) = 620860
