Lets's calculate LCM of 571,8831
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5042501
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5042501
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2954/571,6938/8831 is 2/5042501
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 571,8831 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(571,8831) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(571,8831) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(571,8831) = ( 571 × 8831 ) / 1
LCM(571,8831) = 5042501 / 1
LCM(571,8831) = 5042501
