Lets's calculate LCM of 13,527
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6851
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6851
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7946/13,3706/527 is 2/6851
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 13,527 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(13,527) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(13,527) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(13,527) = ( 13 × 527 ) / 1
LCM(13,527) = 6851 / 1
LCM(13,527) = 6851
