Lets's calculate LCM of 252,5669
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1428588
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1428588
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7186/252,3838/5669 is 2/1428588
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 252,5669 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(252,5669) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(252,5669) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(252,5669) = ( 252 × 5669 ) / 1
LCM(252,5669) = 1428588 / 1
LCM(252,5669) = 1428588
