Lets's calculate LCM of 317,6829
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2164793
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/2164793
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3918/317,5166/6829 is 6/2164793
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 317,6829 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(317,6829) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(317,6829) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(317,6829) = ( 317 × 6829 ) / 1
LCM(317,6829) = 2164793 / 1
LCM(317,6829) = 2164793
