Lets's calculate LCM of 79,3248
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 256592
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/256592
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 699/79,738/3248 is 3/256592
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 79,3248 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,3248) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,3248) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,3248) = ( 79 × 3248 ) / 1
LCM(79,3248) = 256592 / 1
LCM(79,3248) = 256592
