Lets's calculate LCM of 762,563
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 429006
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/429006
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3498/762,6486/563 is 6/429006
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 762,563 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(762,563) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(762,563) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(762,563) = ( 762 × 563 ) / 1
LCM(762,563) = 429006 / 1
LCM(762,563) = 429006
