Lets's calculate LCM of 442,6451
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2851342
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 128/2851342
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3968/442,9344/6451 is 128/2851342
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 442,6451 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(442,6451) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(442,6451) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(442,6451) = ( 442 × 6451 ) / 1
LCM(442,6451) = 2851342 / 1
LCM(442,6451) = 2851342
