Lets's calculate LCM of 196,1727
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 338492
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/338492
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8541/196,4281/1727 is 3/338492
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 196,1727 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(196,1727) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(196,1727) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(196,1727) = ( 196 × 1727 ) / 1
LCM(196,1727) = 338492 / 1
LCM(196,1727) = 338492
