Lets's calculate LCM of 877,5256
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4609512
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4609512
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5955/877,5194/5256 is 1/4609512
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 877,5256 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(877,5256) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(877,5256) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(877,5256) = ( 877 × 5256 ) / 1
LCM(877,5256) = 4609512 / 1
LCM(877,5256) = 4609512
