Lets's calculate LCM of 821,506
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 415426
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/415426
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 146/821,5188/506 is 2/415426
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 821,506 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(821,506) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(821,506) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(821,506) = ( 821 × 506 ) / 1
LCM(821,506) = 415426 / 1
LCM(821,506) = 415426
