Lets's calculate LCM of 646,5142
2 | 646, 5142 |
323, 2571 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 323 x 2571 = 1660866
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1660866
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3973/646,4131/5142 is 1/1660866
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 646,5142 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(646,5142) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(646,5142) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(646,5142) = ( 646 × 5142 ) / 2
LCM(646,5142) = 3321732 / 2
LCM(646,5142) = 1660866
