Lets's calculate LCM of 821,724
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 594404
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/594404
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 976/821,9496/724 is 8/594404
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 821,724 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(821,724) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(821,724) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(821,724) = ( 821 × 724 ) / 1
LCM(821,724) = 594404 / 1
LCM(821,724) = 594404
