Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7238/639,6941/660 is 11/140580
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 639,660 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(639,660) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(639,660) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(639,660) = ( 639 × 660 ) / 3
LCM(639,660) = 421740 / 3
LCM(639,660) = 140580
