Lets's calculate LCM of 835,724
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 604540
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/604540
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7386/835,8168/724 is 2/604540
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 835,724 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(835,724) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(835,724) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(835,724) = ( 835 × 724 ) / 1
LCM(835,724) = 604540 / 1
LCM(835,724) = 604540
