Lets's calculate LCM of 857,7107
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6090699
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6090699
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7742/857,3536/7107 is 2/6090699
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 857,7107 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(857,7107) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(857,7107) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(857,7107) = ( 857 × 7107 ) / 1
LCM(857,7107) = 6090699 / 1
LCM(857,7107) = 6090699
