Lets's calculate LCM of 74,791
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 58534
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/58534
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5203/74,2596/791 is 11/58534
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 74,791 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,791) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(74,791) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(74,791) = ( 74 × 791 ) / 1
LCM(74,791) = 58534 / 1
LCM(74,791) = 58534
