So the greatest common factor 2781,3531 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 434,7523
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3264982
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3264982
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2781/434,3531/7523 is 3/3264982
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 434,7523 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(434,7523) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(434,7523) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(434,7523) = ( 434 × 7523 ) / 1
LCM(434,7523) = 3264982 / 1
LCM(434,7523) = 3264982
