Lets's calculate LCM of 751,5242
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3936742
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3936742
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4070/751,5968/5242 is 2/3936742
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 751,5242 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(751,5242) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(751,5242) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(751,5242) = ( 751 × 5242 ) / 1
LCM(751,5242) = 3936742 / 1
LCM(751,5242) = 3936742
