Lets's calculate LCM of 874,5257
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4594618
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4594618
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7786/874,3512/5257 is 2/4594618
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 874,5257 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(874,5257) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(874,5257) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(874,5257) = ( 874 × 5257 ) / 1
LCM(874,5257) = 4594618 / 1
LCM(874,5257) = 4594618
