Lets's calculate LCM of 721,4157
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2997197
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2997197
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9176/721,5737/4157 is 1/2997197
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 721,4157 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(721,4157) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(721,4157) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(721,4157) = ( 721 × 4157 ) / 1
LCM(721,4157) = 2997197 / 1
LCM(721,4157) = 2997197
