Lets's calculate LCM of 640,737
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 471680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/471680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2698/640,9762/737 is 2/471680
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 640,737 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(640,737) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(640,737) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(640,737) = ( 640 × 737 ) / 1
LCM(640,737) = 471680 / 1
LCM(640,737) = 471680
