Lets's calculate LCM of 539,7187
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3873793
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/3873793
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7284/539,3572/7187 is 4/3873793
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 539,7187 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(539,7187) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(539,7187) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(539,7187) = ( 539 × 7187 ) / 1
LCM(539,7187) = 3873793 / 1
LCM(539,7187) = 3873793
