Lets's calculate LCM of 684,8977
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6140268
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6140268
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3462/684,2590/8977 is 2/6140268
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 684,8977 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(684,8977) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(684,8977) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(684,8977) = ( 684 × 8977 ) / 1
LCM(684,8977) = 6140268 / 1
LCM(684,8977) = 6140268
