Lets's calculate LCM of 817,1738
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1419946
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/1419946
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1638/817,4848/1738 is 6/1419946
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 817,1738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(817,1738) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(817,1738) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(817,1738) = ( 817 × 1738 ) / 1
LCM(817,1738) = 1419946 / 1
LCM(817,1738) = 1419946
