Lets's calculate LCM of 643,5665
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3642595
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3642595
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2956/643,9046/5665 is 2/3642595
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 643,5665 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(643,5665) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(643,5665) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(643,5665) = ( 643 × 5665 ) / 1
LCM(643,5665) = 3642595 / 1
LCM(643,5665) = 3642595
