Lets's calculate LCM of 685,7419
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5082015
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/5082015
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2961/685,2781/7419 is 9/5082015
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 685,7419 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(685,7419) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(685,7419) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(685,7419) = ( 685 × 7419 ) / 1
LCM(685,7419) = 5082015 / 1
LCM(685,7419) = 5082015
