Lets's calculate LCM of 970,141
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 136770
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/136770
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3648/970,1726/141 is 2/136770
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 970,141 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(970,141) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(970,141) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(970,141) = ( 970 × 141 ) / 1
LCM(970,141) = 136770 / 1
LCM(970,141) = 136770
