Lets's calculate LCM of 657,946
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 621522
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 34/621522
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5168/657,2346/946 is 34/621522
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 657,946 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(657,946) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(657,946) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(657,946) = ( 657 × 946 ) / 1
LCM(657,946) = 621522 / 1
LCM(657,946) = 621522
