Lets's calculate LCM of 785,3141
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2465685
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 263/2465685
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3945/785,4208/3141 is 263/2465685
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 785,3141 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(785,3141) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(785,3141) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(785,3141) = ( 785 × 3141 ) / 1
LCM(785,3141) = 2465685 / 1
LCM(785,3141) = 2465685
