Lets's calculate LCM of 647,276
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 178572
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/178572
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6544/647,1478/276 is 2/178572
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 647,276 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(647,276) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(647,276) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(647,276) = ( 647 × 276 ) / 1
LCM(647,276) = 178572 / 1
LCM(647,276) = 178572
