Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5957/784,7956/4534 is 1/1777328
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 784,4534 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(784,4534) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(784,4534) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(784,4534) = ( 784 × 4534 ) / 2
LCM(784,4534) = 3554656 / 2
LCM(784,4534) = 1777328
