Lets's calculate LCM of 548,8759
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4799932
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 22/4799932
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9724/548,2178/8759 is 22/4799932
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 548,8759 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(548,8759) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(548,8759) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(548,8759) = ( 548 × 8759 ) / 1
LCM(548,8759) = 4799932 / 1
LCM(548,8759) = 4799932
