Lets's calculate LCM of 851,8594
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7313494
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7313494
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2546/851,1147/8594 is 1/7313494
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 851,8594 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(851,8594) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(851,8594) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(851,8594) = ( 851 × 8594 ) / 1
LCM(851,8594) = 7313494 / 1
LCM(851,8594) = 7313494
