Lets's calculate LCM of 427,3601
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1537627
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1537627
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8591/427,3451/3601 is 1/1537627
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 427,3601 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(427,3601) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(427,3601) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(427,3601) = ( 427 × 3601 ) / 1
LCM(427,3601) = 1537627 / 1
LCM(427,3601) = 1537627
