Lets's calculate LCM of 931,1483
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1380673
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/1380673
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 402/931,5724/1483 is 6/1380673
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 931,1483 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(931,1483) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(931,1483) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(931,1483) = ( 931 × 1483 ) / 1
LCM(931,1483) = 1380673 / 1
LCM(931,1483) = 1380673
