Lets's calculate LCM of 859,6731
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5781929
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5781929
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5305/859,5638/6731 is 1/5781929
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 859,6731 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(859,6731) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(859,6731) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(859,6731) = ( 859 × 6731 ) / 1
LCM(859,6731) = 5781929 / 1
LCM(859,6731) = 5781929
