Lets's calculate LCM of 731,9531
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6967161
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6967161
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8162/731,2542/9531 is 2/6967161
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 731,9531 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(731,9531) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(731,9531) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(731,9531) = ( 731 × 9531 ) / 1
LCM(731,9531) = 6967161 / 1
LCM(731,9531) = 6967161
