Lets's calculate LCM of 781,685
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 534985
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/534985
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6738/781,3482/685 is 2/534985
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 781,685 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(781,685) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(781,685) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(781,685) = ( 781 × 685 ) / 1
LCM(781,685) = 534985 / 1
LCM(781,685) = 534985
