Lets's calculate LCM of 643,338
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 217334
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/217334
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 371/643,6591/338 is 1/217334
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 643,338 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(643,338) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(643,338) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(643,338) = ( 643 × 338 ) / 1
LCM(643,338) = 217334 / 1
LCM(643,338) = 217334
