Lets's calculate LCM of 853,694
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 591982
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/591982
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5488/853,1436/694 is 4/591982
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 853,694 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(853,694) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(853,694) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(853,694) = ( 853 × 694 ) / 1
LCM(853,694) = 591982 / 1
LCM(853,694) = 591982
