Lets's calculate LCM of 699,251
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 175449
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/175449
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6752/699,3978/251 is 2/175449
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 699,251 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(699,251) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(699,251) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(699,251) = ( 699 × 251 ) / 1
LCM(699,251) = 175449 / 1
LCM(699,251) = 175449
