So the greatest common factor 2870,1742 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 751,6821
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5122571
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5122571
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2870/751,1742/6821 is 2/5122571
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 751,6821 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(751,6821) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(751,6821) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(751,6821) = ( 751 × 6821 ) / 1
LCM(751,6821) = 5122571 / 1
LCM(751,6821) = 5122571
