Lets's calculate LCM of 788,671
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 528748
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/528748
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 692/788,242/671 is 2/528748
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 788,671 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(788,671) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(788,671) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(788,671) = ( 788 × 671 ) / 1
LCM(788,671) = 528748 / 1
LCM(788,671) = 528748
