Lets's calculate LCM of 787,5238
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4122306
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/4122306
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9915/787,4470/5238 is 15/4122306
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 787,5238 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(787,5238) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(787,5238) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(787,5238) = ( 787 × 5238 ) / 1
LCM(787,5238) = 4122306 / 1
LCM(787,5238) = 4122306
