Lets's calculate LCM of 686,6111
7 | 686, 6111 |
98, 873 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 98 x 873 = 598878
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/598878
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5728/686,5656/6111 is 8/598878
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 686,6111 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(686,6111) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(686,6111) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(686,6111) = ( 686 × 6111 ) / 7
LCM(686,6111) = 4192146 / 7
LCM(686,6111) = 598878
