Lets's calculate LCM of 506,5373
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2718738
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2718738
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6849/506,7377/5373 is 3/2718738
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 506,5373 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(506,5373) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(506,5373) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(506,5373) = ( 506 × 5373 ) / 1
LCM(506,5373) = 2718738 / 1
LCM(506,5373) = 2718738
