Lets's calculate LCM of 527,6518
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3434986
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3434986
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1657/527,4242/6518 is 1/3434986
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 527,6518 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(527,6518) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(527,6518) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(527,6518) = ( 527 × 6518 ) / 1
LCM(527,6518) = 3434986 / 1
LCM(527,6518) = 3434986
