Lets's calculate LCM of 973,646
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 628558
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/628558
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3607/973,2493/646 is 1/628558
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 973,646 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(973,646) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(973,646) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(973,646) = ( 973 × 646 ) / 1
LCM(973,646) = 628558 / 1
LCM(973,646) = 628558
