So the greatest common factor 1038,8142 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 479,3427
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1641533
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/1641533
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1038/479,8142/3427 is 6/1641533
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 479,3427 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(479,3427) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(479,3427) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(479,3427) = ( 479 × 3427 ) / 1
LCM(479,3427) = 1641533 / 1
LCM(479,3427) = 1641533
