So the greatest common factor 4971,3618 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 181,6727
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1217587
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1217587
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4971/181,3618/6727 is 3/1217587
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 181,6727 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(181,6727) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(181,6727) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(181,6727) = ( 181 × 6727 ) / 1
LCM(181,6727) = 1217587 / 1
LCM(181,6727) = 1217587
