So the greatest common factor 8522,6942 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 673,539
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 362747
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/362747
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8522/673,6942/539 is 2/362747
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 673,539 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(673,539) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(673,539) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(673,539) = ( 673 × 539 ) / 1
LCM(673,539) = 362747 / 1
LCM(673,539) = 362747
