Lets's calculate LCM of 429,8114
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3480906
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3480906
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9174/429,1978/8114 is 2/3480906
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 429,8114 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(429,8114) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(429,8114) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(429,8114) = ( 429 × 8114 ) / 1
LCM(429,8114) = 3480906 / 1
LCM(429,8114) = 3480906
