Lets's calculate LCM of 709,338
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 239642
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/239642
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4540/709,8657/338 is 1/239642
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 709,338 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(709,338) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(709,338) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(709,338) = ( 709 × 338 ) / 1
LCM(709,338) = 239642 / 1
LCM(709,338) = 239642
