Lets's calculate LCM of 601,7246
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4354846
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/4354846
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9420/601,3171/7246 is 3/4354846
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 601,7246 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(601,7246) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(601,7246) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(601,7246) = ( 601 × 7246 ) / 1
LCM(601,7246) = 4354846 / 1
LCM(601,7246) = 4354846
