Lets's calculate LCM of 779,7281
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5671899
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/5671899
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6856/779,1252/7281 is 4/5671899
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 779,7281 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(779,7281) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(779,7281) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(779,7281) = ( 779 × 7281 ) / 1
LCM(779,7281) = 5671899 / 1
LCM(779,7281) = 5671899
