Lets's calculate LCM of 574,7971
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4575354
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4575354
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4302/574,8578/7971 is 2/4575354
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 574,7971 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(574,7971) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(574,7971) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(574,7971) = ( 574 × 7971 ) / 1
LCM(574,7971) = 4575354 / 1
LCM(574,7971) = 4575354
