Lets's calculate LCM of 851,271
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 230621
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/230621
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2666/851,5306/271 is 2/230621
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 851,271 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(851,271) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(851,271) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(851,271) = ( 851 × 271 ) / 1
LCM(851,271) = 230621 / 1
LCM(851,271) = 230621
