Lets's calculate LCM of 171,8065
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1379115
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1379115
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7218/171,4886/8065 is 2/1379115
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 171,8065 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(171,8065) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(171,8065) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(171,8065) = ( 171 × 8065 ) / 1
LCM(171,8065) = 1379115 / 1
LCM(171,8065) = 1379115
