Lets's calculate LCM of 162,4327
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 700974
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/700974
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1258/162,3494/4327 is 2/700974
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 162,4327 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(162,4327) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(162,4327) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(162,4327) = ( 162 × 4327 ) / 1
LCM(162,4327) = 700974 / 1
LCM(162,4327) = 700974
