Lets's calculate LCM of 335,6491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2174485
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/2174485
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8742/335,1829/6491 is 31/2174485
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 335,6491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(335,6491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(335,6491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(335,6491) = ( 335 × 6491 ) / 1
LCM(335,6491) = 2174485 / 1
LCM(335,6491) = 2174485
