Lets's calculate LCM of 8758,3595
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 31485010
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/31485010
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 738/8758,778/3595 is 2/31485010
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 8758,3595 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(8758,3595) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(8758,3595) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(8758,3595) = ( 8758 × 3595 ) / 1
LCM(8758,3595) = 31485010 / 1
LCM(8758,3595) = 31485010
