Lets's calculate LCM of 143,4217
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 603031
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/603031
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1518/143,2716/4217 is 2/603031
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 143,4217 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(143,4217) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(143,4217) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(143,4217) = ( 143 × 4217 ) / 1
LCM(143,4217) = 603031 / 1
LCM(143,4217) = 603031
