Lets's calculate LCM of 139,4687
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 651493
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/651493
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5120/139,1642/4687 is 2/651493
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 139,4687 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(139,4687) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(139,4687) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(139,4687) = ( 139 × 4687 ) / 1
LCM(139,4687) = 651493 / 1
LCM(139,4687) = 651493
