Lets's calculate LCM of 638,6971
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4447498
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4447498
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3866/638,2690/6971 is 2/4447498
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 638,6971 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(638,6971) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(638,6971) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(638,6971) = ( 638 × 6971 ) / 1
LCM(638,6971) = 4447498 / 1
LCM(638,6971) = 4447498
