Lets's calculate LCM of 687,374
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 256938
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/256938
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5718/687,5997/374 is 3/256938
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 687,374 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(687,374) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(687,374) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(687,374) = ( 687 × 374 ) / 1
LCM(687,374) = 256938 / 1
LCM(687,374) = 256938
