Lets's calculate LCM of 677,980
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 663460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/663460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 340/677,973/980 is 1/663460
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 677,980 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(677,980) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(677,980) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(677,980) = ( 677 × 980 ) / 1
LCM(677,980) = 663460 / 1
LCM(677,980) = 663460
