Lets's calculate LCM of 901,171
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 154071
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/154071
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3824/901,4698/171 is 2/154071
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 901,171 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(901,171) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(901,171) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(901,171) = ( 901 × 171 ) / 1
LCM(901,171) = 154071 / 1
LCM(901,171) = 154071
