Lets's calculate LCM of 437,1556
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 679972
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/679972
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7170/437,4209/1556 is 3/679972
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 437,1556 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(437,1556) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(437,1556) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(437,1556) = ( 437 × 1556 ) / 1
LCM(437,1556) = 679972 / 1
LCM(437,1556) = 679972
