Lets's calculate LCM of 424,2645
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1121480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1121480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 66/424,6862/2645 is 2/1121480
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 424,2645 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(424,2645) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(424,2645) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(424,2645) = ( 424 × 2645 ) / 1
LCM(424,2645) = 1121480 / 1
LCM(424,2645) = 1121480
