Lets's calculate LCM of 723,4865
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3517395
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3517395
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2372/723,6682/4865 is 2/3517395
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 723,4865 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(723,4865) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(723,4865) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(723,4865) = ( 723 × 4865 ) / 1
LCM(723,4865) = 3517395 / 1
LCM(723,4865) = 3517395
