Lets's calculate LCM of 60,457
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 27420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/27420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 638/60,958/457 is 2/27420
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 60,457 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,457) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(60,457) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(60,457) = ( 60 × 457 ) / 1
LCM(60,457) = 27420 / 1
LCM(60,457) = 27420
