Lets's calculate LCM of 373,4249
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1584877
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1584877
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3498/373,5134/4249 is 2/1584877
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 373,4249 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(373,4249) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(373,4249) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(373,4249) = ( 373 × 4249 ) / 1
LCM(373,4249) = 1584877 / 1
LCM(373,4249) = 1584877
