Lets's calculate LCM of 271,5816
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1576136
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1576136
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3944/271,3117/5816 is 1/1576136
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 271,5816 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(271,5816) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(271,5816) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(271,5816) = ( 271 × 5816 ) / 1
LCM(271,5816) = 1576136 / 1
LCM(271,5816) = 1576136
