Lets's calculate LCM of 691,2646
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1828386
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/1828386
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5931/691,2286/2646 is 9/1828386
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 691,2646 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(691,2646) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(691,2646) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(691,2646) = ( 691 × 2646 ) / 1
LCM(691,2646) = 1828386 / 1
LCM(691,2646) = 1828386
