Lets's calculate LCM of 866,3425
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2966050
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2966050
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5566/866,2146/3425 is 2/2966050
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 866,3425 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(866,3425) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(866,3425) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(866,3425) = ( 866 × 3425 ) / 1
LCM(866,3425) = 2966050 / 1
LCM(866,3425) = 2966050
