Lets's calculate LCM of 547,6291
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3441177
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/3441177
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7344/547,4472/6291 is 8/3441177
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 547,6291 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(547,6291) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(547,6291) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(547,6291) = ( 547 × 6291 ) / 1
LCM(547,6291) = 3441177 / 1
LCM(547,6291) = 3441177
