Lets's calculate LCM of 687,158
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 108546
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/108546
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6580/687,8858/158 is 2/108546
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 687,158 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(687,158) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(687,158) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(687,158) = ( 687 × 158 ) / 1
LCM(687,158) = 108546 / 1
LCM(687,158) = 108546
