Lets's calculate LCM of 299,7142
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2135458
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2135458
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3157/299,2029/7142 is 1/2135458
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 299,7142 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(299,7142) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(299,7142) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(299,7142) = ( 299 × 7142 ) / 1
LCM(299,7142) = 2135458 / 1
LCM(299,7142) = 2135458
