Lets's calculate LCM of 689,7052
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4858828
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4858828
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2518/689,3478/7052 is 2/4858828
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 689,7052 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(689,7052) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(689,7052) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(689,7052) = ( 689 × 7052 ) / 1
LCM(689,7052) = 4858828 / 1
LCM(689,7052) = 4858828
