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 990,770 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(990,770) = 110
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(990,770) x common factors =110 x 1 = 110
LCM(990,770) = ( 990 × 770 ) / 110
LCM(990,770) = 762300 / 110
LCM(990,770) = 6930
