Lets's calculate LCM of 703,978
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 687534
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/687534
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5617/703,1137/978 is 1/687534
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 703,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(703,978) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(703,978) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(703,978) = ( 703 × 978 ) / 1
LCM(703,978) = 687534 / 1
LCM(703,978) = 687534
