Lets's calculate LCM of 681,2869
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1953789
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/1953789
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7042/681,3346/2869 is 14/1953789
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 681,2869 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(681,2869) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(681,2869) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(681,2869) = ( 681 × 2869 ) / 1
LCM(681,2869) = 1953789 / 1
LCM(681,2869) = 1953789
