Lets's calculate LCM of 397,6520
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2588440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2588440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2947/397,3271/6520 is 1/2588440
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 397,6520 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(397,6520) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(397,6520) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(397,6520) = ( 397 × 6520 ) / 1
LCM(397,6520) = 2588440 / 1
LCM(397,6520) = 2588440
