Lets's calculate LCM of 638,5751
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3669138
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3669138
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9461/638,2978/5751 is 1/3669138
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 638,5751 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(638,5751) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(638,5751) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(638,5751) = ( 638 × 5751 ) / 1
LCM(638,5751) = 3669138 / 1
LCM(638,5751) = 3669138
