Lets's calculate LCM of 974,421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 410054
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/410054
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6290/974,5732/421 is 2/410054
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 974,421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(974,421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(974,421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(974,421) = ( 974 × 421 ) / 1
LCM(974,421) = 410054 / 1
LCM(974,421) = 410054
