Lets's calculate LCM of 205,6561
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1345005
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1345005
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3974/205,2268/6561 is 2/1345005
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 205,6561 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(205,6561) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(205,6561) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(205,6561) = ( 205 × 6561 ) / 1
LCM(205,6561) = 1345005 / 1
LCM(205,6561) = 1345005
