Lets's calculate LCM of 787,2114
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1663718
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/1663718
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5992/787,5832/2114 is 8/1663718
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 787,2114 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(787,2114) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(787,2114) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(787,2114) = ( 787 × 2114 ) / 1
LCM(787,2114) = 1663718 / 1
LCM(787,2114) = 1663718
