Lets's calculate LCM of 787,5124
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4032588
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4032588
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8456/787,6586/5124 is 2/4032588
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 787,5124 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(787,5124) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(787,5124) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(787,5124) = ( 787 × 5124 ) / 1
LCM(787,5124) = 4032588 / 1
LCM(787,5124) = 4032588
