Lets's calculate LCM of 720,461
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 331920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/331920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 718/720,8948/461 is 2/331920
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 720,461 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(720,461) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(720,461) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(720,461) = ( 720 × 461 ) / 1
LCM(720,461) = 331920 / 1
LCM(720,461) = 331920
