Lets's calculate LCM of 871,3974
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3461354
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3461354
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2179/871,6099/3974 is 1/3461354
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 871,3974 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(871,3974) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(871,3974) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(871,3974) = ( 871 × 3974 ) / 1
LCM(871,3974) = 3461354 / 1
LCM(871,3974) = 3461354
