Lets's calculate LCM of 640,983
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 629120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/629120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 204/640,2737/983 is 17/629120
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 640,983 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(640,983) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(640,983) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(640,983) = ( 640 × 983 ) / 1
LCM(640,983) = 629120 / 1
LCM(640,983) = 629120
