Lets's calculate LCM of 463,676
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 312988
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/312988
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2361/463,3201/676 is 3/312988
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 463,676 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(463,676) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(463,676) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(463,676) = ( 463 × 676 ) / 1
LCM(463,676) = 312988 / 1
LCM(463,676) = 312988
