Lets's calculate LCM of 687,833
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 572271
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/572271
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2838/687,1940/833 is 2/572271
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 687,833 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(687,833) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(687,833) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(687,833) = ( 687 × 833 ) / 1
LCM(687,833) = 572271 / 1
LCM(687,833) = 572271
