So the greatest common factor 8726,1456 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 53,342
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 18126
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/18126
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8726/53,1456/342 is 2/18126
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 53,342 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(53,342) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(53,342) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(53,342) = ( 53 × 342 ) / 1
LCM(53,342) = 18126 / 1
LCM(53,342) = 18126
