Lets's calculate LCM of 773,2342
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1810366
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1810366
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7996/773,5338/2342 is 2/1810366
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 773,2342 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(773,2342) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(773,2342) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(773,2342) = ( 773 × 2342 ) / 1
LCM(773,2342) = 1810366 / 1
LCM(773,2342) = 1810366
