Lets's calculate LCM of 995,742
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 738290
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/738290
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8542/995,5622/742 is 2/738290
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 995,742 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(995,742) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(995,742) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(995,742) = ( 995 × 742 ) / 1
LCM(995,742) = 738290 / 1
LCM(995,742) = 738290
