Lets's calculate LCM of 669,6796
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4546524
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/4546524
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1590/669,2973/6796 is 3/4546524
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 669,6796 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(669,6796) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(669,6796) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(669,6796) = ( 669 × 6796 ) / 1
LCM(669,6796) = 4546524 / 1
LCM(669,6796) = 4546524
