Lets's calculate LCM of 517,1668
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 862356
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/862356
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 576/517,1246/1668 is 2/862356
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 517,1668 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(517,1668) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(517,1668) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(517,1668) = ( 517 × 1668 ) / 1
LCM(517,1668) = 862356 / 1
LCM(517,1668) = 862356
