Lets's calculate LCM of 669,8791
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5881179
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/5881179
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8856/669,5392/8791 is 8/5881179
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 669,8791 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(669,8791) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(669,8791) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(669,8791) = ( 669 × 8791 ) / 1
LCM(669,8791) = 5881179 / 1
LCM(669,8791) = 5881179
