Lets's calculate LCM of 431,6248
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2692888
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/2692888
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8551/431,2176/6248 is 17/2692888
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 431,6248 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(431,6248) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(431,6248) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(431,6248) = ( 431 × 6248 ) / 1
LCM(431,6248) = 2692888 / 1
LCM(431,6248) = 2692888
