Lets's calculate LCM of 339,3151
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1068189
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1068189
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7256/339,8574/3151 is 2/1068189
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 339,3151 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(339,3151) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(339,3151) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(339,3151) = ( 339 × 3151 ) / 1
LCM(339,3151) = 1068189 / 1
LCM(339,3151) = 1068189
