So the greatest common factor 8722,7021 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 521,7993
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4164353
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/4164353
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8722/521,7021/7993 is 7/4164353
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 521,7993 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(521,7993) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(521,7993) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(521,7993) = ( 521 × 7993 ) / 1
LCM(521,7993) = 4164353 / 1
LCM(521,7993) = 4164353
