Lets's calculate LCM of 457,396
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 180972
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/180972
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6686/457,7201/396 is 1/180972
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 457,396 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(457,396) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(457,396) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(457,396) = ( 457 × 396 ) / 1
LCM(457,396) = 180972 / 1
LCM(457,396) = 180972
