Lets's calculate LCM of 971,4431
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4302501
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4302501
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2522/971,7454/4431 is 2/4302501
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 971,4431 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(971,4431) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(971,4431) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(971,4431) = ( 971 × 4431 ) / 1
LCM(971,4431) = 4302501 / 1
LCM(971,4431) = 4302501
