Lets's calculate LCM of 655,7997
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5238035
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5238035
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6578/655,7536/7997 is 2/5238035
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 655,7997 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(655,7997) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(655,7997) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(655,7997) = ( 655 × 7997 ) / 1
LCM(655,7997) = 5238035 / 1
LCM(655,7997) = 5238035
