Lets's calculate LCM of 686,5899
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4046714
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4046714
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6246/686,3964/5899 is 2/4046714
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 686,5899 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(686,5899) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(686,5899) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(686,5899) = ( 686 × 5899 ) / 1
LCM(686,5899) = 4046714 / 1
LCM(686,5899) = 4046714
