Lets's calculate LCM of 538,2943
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1583334
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/1583334
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4806/538,9786/2943 is 6/1583334
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 538,2943 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(538,2943) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(538,2943) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(538,2943) = ( 538 × 2943 ) / 1
LCM(538,2943) = 1583334 / 1
LCM(538,2943) = 1583334
