So the greatest common factor 7784,6856 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 531,3932
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2087892
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/2087892
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7784/531,6856/3932 is 8/2087892
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 531,3932 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(531,3932) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(531,3932) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(531,3932) = ( 531 × 3932 ) / 1
LCM(531,3932) = 2087892 / 1
LCM(531,3932) = 2087892
