Lets's calculate LCM of 853,3517
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3000001
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3000001
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2986/853,7629/3517 is 1/3000001
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 853,3517 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(853,3517) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(853,3517) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(853,3517) = ( 853 × 3517 ) / 1
LCM(853,3517) = 3000001 / 1
LCM(853,3517) = 3000001
