Lets's calculate LCM of 716,2635
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1886660
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1886660
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7287/716,2259/2635 is 3/1886660
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 716,2635 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(716,2635) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(716,2635) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(716,2635) = ( 716 × 2635 ) / 1
LCM(716,2635) = 1886660 / 1
LCM(716,2635) = 1886660
