So the greatest common factor 8121,5238 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 746,2313
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1725498
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1725498
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8121/746,5238/2313 is 3/1725498
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 746,2313 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(746,2313) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(746,2313) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(746,2313) = ( 746 × 2313 ) / 1
LCM(746,2313) = 1725498 / 1
LCM(746,2313) = 1725498
