Lets's calculate LCM of 794,565
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 448610
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 123/448610
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 246/794,8979/565 is 123/448610
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 794,565 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(794,565) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(794,565) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(794,565) = ( 794 × 565 ) / 1
LCM(794,565) = 448610 / 1
LCM(794,565) = 448610
