Lets's calculate LCM of 151,3531
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 533181
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/533181
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3574/151,1738/3531 is 2/533181
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 151,3531 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(151,3531) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(151,3531) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(151,3531) = ( 151 × 3531 ) / 1
LCM(151,3531) = 533181 / 1
LCM(151,3531) = 533181
