Lets's calculate LCM of 709,246
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 174414
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/174414
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7178/709,1937/246 is 1/174414
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 709,246 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(709,246) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(709,246) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(709,246) = ( 709 × 246 ) / 1
LCM(709,246) = 174414 / 1
LCM(709,246) = 174414
