Lets's calculate LCM of 834,1507
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1256838
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1256838
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5540/834,4493/1507 is 1/1256838
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 834,1507 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(834,1507) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(834,1507) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(834,1507) = ( 834 × 1507 ) / 1
LCM(834,1507) = 1256838 / 1
LCM(834,1507) = 1256838
