Lets's calculate LCM of 716,8741
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6258556
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/6258556
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3236/716,5116/8741 is 4/6258556
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 716,8741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(716,8741) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(716,8741) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(716,8741) = ( 716 × 8741 ) / 1
LCM(716,8741) = 6258556 / 1
LCM(716,8741) = 6258556
