Lets's calculate LCM of 351,6047
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2122497
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2122497
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6842/351,9616/6047 is 2/2122497
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 351,6047 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(351,6047) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(351,6047) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(351,6047) = ( 351 × 6047 ) / 1
LCM(351,6047) = 2122497 / 1
LCM(351,6047) = 2122497
