Lets's calculate LCM of 743,438
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 325434
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/325434
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6877/743,6321/438 is 1/325434
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 743,438 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(743,438) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(743,438) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(743,438) = ( 743 × 438 ) / 1
LCM(743,438) = 325434 / 1
LCM(743,438) = 325434
