Lets's calculate LCM of 640,8631
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5523840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5523840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7956/640,3506/8631 is 2/5523840
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 640,8631 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(640,8631) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(640,8631) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(640,8631) = ( 640 × 8631 ) / 1
LCM(640,8631) = 5523840 / 1
LCM(640,8631) = 5523840
