Lets's calculate LCM of 656,5975
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3919600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3919600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7046/656,3942/5975 is 2/3919600
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 656,5975 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(656,5975) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(656,5975) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(656,5975) = ( 656 × 5975 ) / 1
LCM(656,5975) = 3919600 / 1
LCM(656,5975) = 3919600
