Lets's calculate LCM of 720,9341
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6725520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6725520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8440/720,7143/9341 is 1/6725520
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 720,9341 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(720,9341) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(720,9341) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(720,9341) = ( 720 × 9341 ) / 1
LCM(720,9341) = 6725520 / 1
LCM(720,9341) = 6725520
