Lets's calculate LCM of 728,677
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 492856
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/492856
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3348/728,4118/677 is 2/492856
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 728,677 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(728,677) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(728,677) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(728,677) = ( 728 × 677 ) / 1
LCM(728,677) = 492856 / 1
LCM(728,677) = 492856
