Lets's calculate LCM of 386,639
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 246654
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/246654
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 562/386,336/639 is 2/246654
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 386,639 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(386,639) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(386,639) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(386,639) = ( 386 × 639 ) / 1
LCM(386,639) = 246654 / 1
LCM(386,639) = 246654
