Lets's calculate LCM of 688,9779
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6727952
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6727952
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2438/688,9734/9779 is 2/6727952
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 688,9779 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(688,9779) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(688,9779) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(688,9779) = ( 688 × 9779 ) / 1
LCM(688,9779) = 6727952 / 1
LCM(688,9779) = 6727952
