Lets's calculate LCM of 743,3274
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2432582
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2432582
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5476/743,2138/3274 is 2/2432582
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 743,3274 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(743,3274) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(743,3274) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(743,3274) = ( 743 × 3274 ) / 1
LCM(743,3274) = 2432582 / 1
LCM(743,3274) = 2432582
