Lets's calculate LCM of 171,6274
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1072854
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1072854
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1912/171,1942/6274 is 2/1072854
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 171,6274 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(171,6274) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(171,6274) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(171,6274) = ( 171 × 6274 ) / 1
LCM(171,6274) = 1072854 / 1
LCM(171,6274) = 1072854
