Lets's calculate LCM of 671,4158
11 | 671, 4158 |
61, 378 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 61 x 378 = 253638
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/253638
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7046/671,5586/4158 is 2/253638
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 671,4158 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(671,4158) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(671,4158) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(671,4158) = ( 671 × 4158 ) / 11
LCM(671,4158) = 2790018 / 11
LCM(671,4158) = 253638
