Lets's calculate LCM of 446,3511
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1565906
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1565906
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1972/446,5867/3511 is 1/1565906
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 446,3511 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(446,3511) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(446,3511) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(446,3511) = ( 446 × 3511 ) / 1
LCM(446,3511) = 1565906 / 1
LCM(446,3511) = 1565906
