Lets's calculate LCM of 521,3919
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2041799
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2041799
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1424/521,4234/3919 is 2/2041799
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 521,3919 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(521,3919) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(521,3919) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(521,3919) = ( 521 × 3919 ) / 1
LCM(521,3919) = 2041799 / 1
LCM(521,3919) = 2041799
