Lets's calculate LCM of 542,3079
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1668818
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1668818
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1761/542,8474/3079 is 1/1668818
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 542,3079 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(542,3079) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(542,3079) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(542,3079) = ( 542 × 3079 ) / 1
LCM(542,3079) = 1668818 / 1
LCM(542,3079) = 1668818
