So the greatest common factor 7856,6736 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 161,4762
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 766682
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/766682
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7856/161,6736/4762 is 16/766682
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 161,4762 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(161,4762) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(161,4762) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(161,4762) = ( 161 × 4762 ) / 1
LCM(161,4762) = 766682 / 1
LCM(161,4762) = 766682
