Lets's calculate LCM of 371,653
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 242263
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/242263
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6860/371,4248/653 is 4/242263
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 371,653 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(371,653) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(371,653) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(371,653) = ( 371 × 653 ) / 1
LCM(371,653) = 242263 / 1
LCM(371,653) = 242263
