Lets's calculate LCM of 427,2171
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 927017
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/927017
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1688/427,8334/2171 is 2/927017
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 427,2171 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(427,2171) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(427,2171) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(427,2171) = ( 427 × 2171 ) / 1
LCM(427,2171) = 927017 / 1
LCM(427,2171) = 927017
