Lets's calculate LCM of 764,717
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 547788
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/547788
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 246/764,2794/717 is 2/547788
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 764,717 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(764,717) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(764,717) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(764,717) = ( 764 × 717 ) / 1
LCM(764,717) = 547788 / 1
LCM(764,717) = 547788
