Lets's calculate LCM of 636,6809
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4330524
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4330524
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4738/636,5942/6809 is 2/4330524
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 636,6809 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(636,6809) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(636,6809) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(636,6809) = ( 636 × 6809 ) / 1
LCM(636,6809) = 4330524 / 1
LCM(636,6809) = 4330524
