Lets's calculate LCM of 709,537
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 380733
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/380733
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 462/709,6286/537 is 14/380733
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 709,537 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(709,537) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(709,537) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(709,537) = ( 709 × 537 ) / 1
LCM(709,537) = 380733 / 1
LCM(709,537) = 380733
