Lets's calculate LCM of 342,5261
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1799262
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/1799262
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7939/342,1666/5261 is 17/1799262
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 342,5261 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(342,5261) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(342,5261) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(342,5261) = ( 342 × 5261 ) / 1
LCM(342,5261) = 1799262 / 1
LCM(342,5261) = 1799262
