Lets's calculate LCM of 921,5090
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4687890
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 29/4687890
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3973/921,7221/5090 is 29/4687890
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 921,5090 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(921,5090) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(921,5090) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(921,5090) = ( 921 × 5090 ) / 1
LCM(921,5090) = 4687890 / 1
LCM(921,5090) = 4687890
