Lets's calculate LCM of 284,1431
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 406404
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/406404
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 54/284,7162/1431 is 2/406404
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 284,1431 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(284,1431) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(284,1431) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(284,1431) = ( 284 × 1431 ) / 1
LCM(284,1431) = 406404 / 1
LCM(284,1431) = 406404
