Lets's calculate LCM of 324,9701
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3143124
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3143124
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4686/324,8534/9701 is 2/3143124
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 324,9701 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(324,9701) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(324,9701) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(324,9701) = ( 324 × 9701 ) / 1
LCM(324,9701) = 3143124 / 1
LCM(324,9701) = 3143124
