Lets's calculate LCM of 521,1317
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 686157
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/686157
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8702/521,1940/1317 is 2/686157
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 521,1317 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(521,1317) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(521,1317) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(521,1317) = ( 521 × 1317 ) / 1
LCM(521,1317) = 686157 / 1
LCM(521,1317) = 686157
