Lets's calculate LCM of 843,719
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 606117
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/606117
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 406/843,1152/719 is 2/606117
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 843,719 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(843,719) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(843,719) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(843,719) = ( 843 × 719 ) / 1
LCM(843,719) = 606117 / 1
LCM(843,719) = 606117
