Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3588/663,7068/5337 is 12/1179477
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 663,5337 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(663,5337) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(663,5337) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(663,5337) = ( 663 × 5337 ) / 3
LCM(663,5337) = 3538431 / 3
LCM(663,5337) = 1179477
