Lets's calculate LCM of 319,4943
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1576817
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 101/1576817
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1717/319,3636/4943 is 101/1576817
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 319,4943 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(319,4943) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(319,4943) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(319,4943) = ( 319 × 4943 ) / 1
LCM(319,4943) = 1576817 / 1
LCM(319,4943) = 1576817
