Lets's calculate LCM of 704,9071
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6385984
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6385984
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7138/704,3430/9071 is 2/6385984
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 704,9071 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(704,9071) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(704,9071) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(704,9071) = ( 704 × 9071 ) / 1
LCM(704,9071) = 6385984 / 1
LCM(704,9071) = 6385984
