Lets's calculate LCM of 723,8684
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6278532
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6278532
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2961/723,4994/8684 is 1/6278532
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 723,8684 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(723,8684) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(723,8684) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(723,8684) = ( 723 × 8684 ) / 1
LCM(723,8684) = 6278532 / 1
LCM(723,8684) = 6278532
