Lets's calculate LCM of 691,288
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 199008
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/199008
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3232/691,1185/288 is 1/199008
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 691,288 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(691,288) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(691,288) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(691,288) = ( 691 × 288 ) / 1
LCM(691,288) = 199008 / 1
LCM(691,288) = 199008
