Lets's calculate LCM of 646,993
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 641478
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/641478
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 260/646,1462/993 is 2/641478
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 646,993 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(646,993) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(646,993) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(646,993) = ( 646 × 993 ) / 1
LCM(646,993) = 641478 / 1
LCM(646,993) = 641478
