Lets's calculate LCM of 116,735
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 85260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/85260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5334/116,5862/735 is 6/85260
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 116,735 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(116,735) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(116,735) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(116,735) = ( 116 × 735 ) / 1
LCM(116,735) = 85260 / 1
LCM(116,735) = 85260
