Lets's calculate LCM of 951,5527
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5256177
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5256177
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8938/951,6557/5527 is 1/5256177
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 951,5527 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(951,5527) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(951,5527) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(951,5527) = ( 951 × 5527 ) / 1
LCM(951,5527) = 5256177 / 1
LCM(951,5527) = 5256177
