Lets's calculate LCM of 615,658
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 404670
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/404670
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1178/615,9246/658 is 2/404670
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 615,658 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(615,658) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(615,658) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(615,658) = ( 615 × 658 ) / 1
LCM(615,658) = 404670 / 1
LCM(615,658) = 404670
