Lets's calculate LCM of 142,4309
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 611878
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/611878
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 716/142,5736/4309 is 4/611878
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 142,4309 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(142,4309) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(142,4309) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(142,4309) = ( 142 × 4309 ) / 1
LCM(142,4309) = 611878 / 1
LCM(142,4309) = 611878
