Lets's calculate LCM of 791,257
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 203287
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/203287
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7188/791,4528/257 is 4/203287
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 791,257 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(791,257) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(791,257) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(791,257) = ( 791 × 257 ) / 1
LCM(791,257) = 203287 / 1
LCM(791,257) = 203287
