Lets's calculate LCM of 715,7287
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5210205
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5210205
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6788/715,2518/7287 is 2/5210205
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 715,7287 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(715,7287) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(715,7287) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(715,7287) = ( 715 × 7287 ) / 1
LCM(715,7287) = 5210205 / 1
LCM(715,7287) = 5210205
