Lets's calculate LCM of 281,5146
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1446026
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/1446026
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5616/281,6040/5146 is 8/1446026
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 281,5146 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(281,5146) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(281,5146) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(281,5146) = ( 281 × 5146 ) / 1
LCM(281,5146) = 1446026 / 1
LCM(281,5146) = 1446026
