Lets's calculate LCM of 617,515
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 317755
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/317755
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 434/617,8342/515 is 2/317755
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 617,515 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(617,515) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(617,515) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(617,515) = ( 617 × 515 ) / 1
LCM(617,515) = 317755 / 1
LCM(617,515) = 317755
