Lets's calculate LCM of 661,7112
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4701032
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4701032
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2234/661,5257/7112 is 1/4701032
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 661,7112 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(661,7112) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(661,7112) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(661,7112) = ( 661 × 7112 ) / 1
LCM(661,7112) = 4701032 / 1
LCM(661,7112) = 4701032
