Lets's calculate LCM of 971,6894
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6694074
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 82/6694074
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4346/971,1722/6894 is 82/6694074
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 971,6894 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(971,6894) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(971,6894) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(971,6894) = ( 971 × 6894 ) / 1
LCM(971,6894) = 6694074 / 1
LCM(971,6894) = 6694074
