Lets's calculate LCM of 511,138
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 70518
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/70518
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3438/511,4406/138 is 2/70518
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 511,138 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(511,138) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(511,138) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(511,138) = ( 511 × 138 ) / 1
LCM(511,138) = 70518 / 1
LCM(511,138) = 70518
