Lets's calculate LCM of 684,383
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 261972
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/261972
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5220/684,5642/383 is 2/261972
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 684,383 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(684,383) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(684,383) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(684,383) = ( 684 × 383 ) / 1
LCM(684,383) = 261972 / 1
LCM(684,383) = 261972
