Lets's calculate LCM of 796,927
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 737892
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/737892
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 936/796,862/927 is 2/737892
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 796,927 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(796,927) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(796,927) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(796,927) = ( 796 × 927 ) / 1
LCM(796,927) = 737892 / 1
LCM(796,927) = 737892
