Lets's calculate LCM of 956,681
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 651036
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/651036
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4494/956,5542/681 is 2/651036
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 956,681 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(956,681) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(956,681) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(956,681) = ( 956 × 681 ) / 1
LCM(956,681) = 651036 / 1
LCM(956,681) = 651036
