Lets's calculate LCM of 307,687
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 210909
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/210909
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1842/307,6586/687 is 2/210909
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 307,687 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(307,687) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(307,687) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(307,687) = ( 307 × 687 ) / 1
LCM(307,687) = 210909 / 1
LCM(307,687) = 210909
