Lets's calculate LCM of 685,2383
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1632355
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/1632355
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7296/685,9968/2383 is 16/1632355
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 685,2383 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(685,2383) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(685,2383) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(685,2383) = ( 685 × 2383 ) / 1
LCM(685,2383) = 1632355 / 1
LCM(685,2383) = 1632355
