Lets's calculate LCM of 855,2426
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2074230
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2074230
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6586/855,3710/2426 is 2/2074230
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 855,2426 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(855,2426) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(855,2426) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(855,2426) = ( 855 × 2426 ) / 1
LCM(855,2426) = 2074230 / 1
LCM(855,2426) = 2074230
