Lets's calculate LCM of 772,1855
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1432060
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/1432060
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8617/772,2604/1855 is 7/1432060
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 772,1855 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(772,1855) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(772,1855) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(772,1855) = ( 772 × 1855 ) / 1
LCM(772,1855) = 1432060 / 1
LCM(772,1855) = 1432060
