Lets's calculate LCM of 871,2290
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1994590
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1994590
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3201/871,5187/2290 is 3/1994590
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 871,2290 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(871,2290) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(871,2290) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(871,2290) = ( 871 × 2290 ) / 1
LCM(871,2290) = 1994590 / 1
LCM(871,2290) = 1994590
