Lets's calculate LCM of 940,7677
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7216380
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/7216380
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5844/940,4624/7677 is 4/7216380
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 940,7677 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(940,7677) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(940,7677) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(940,7677) = ( 940 × 7677 ) / 1
LCM(940,7677) = 7216380 / 1
LCM(940,7677) = 7216380
