Lets's calculate LCM of 240,623
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 149520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/149520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 694/240,256/623 is 2/149520
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 240,623 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(240,623) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(240,623) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(240,623) = ( 240 × 623 ) / 1
LCM(240,623) = 149520 / 1
LCM(240,623) = 149520
