So the greatest common factor 3159,8454 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 677,995
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 673615
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/673615
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3159/677,8454/995 is 3/673615
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 677,995 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(677,995) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(677,995) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(677,995) = ( 677 × 995 ) / 1
LCM(677,995) = 673615 / 1
LCM(677,995) = 673615
