Lets's calculate LCM of 617,4429
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2732693
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/2732693
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1686/617,6336/4429 is 6/2732693
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 617,4429 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(617,4429) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(617,4429) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(617,4429) = ( 617 × 4429 ) / 1
LCM(617,4429) = 2732693 / 1
LCM(617,4429) = 2732693
