Lets's calculate LCM of 251,2686
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 674186
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/674186
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4174/251,3216/2686 is 2/674186
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 251,2686 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(251,2686) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(251,2686) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(251,2686) = ( 251 × 2686 ) / 1
LCM(251,2686) = 674186 / 1
LCM(251,2686) = 674186
