Lets's calculate LCM of 289,2377
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 686953
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/686953
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4746/289,2286/2377 is 6/686953
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 289,2377 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(289,2377) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(289,2377) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(289,2377) = ( 289 × 2377 ) / 1
LCM(289,2377) = 686953 / 1
LCM(289,2377) = 686953
