Lets's calculate LCM of 457,8541
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3903237
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 62/3903237
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5146/457,7316/8541 is 62/3903237
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 457,8541 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(457,8541) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(457,8541) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(457,8541) = ( 457 × 8541 ) / 1
LCM(457,8541) = 3903237 / 1
LCM(457,8541) = 3903237
