Lets's calculate LCM of 86,683
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 58738
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/58738
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 732/86,668/683 is 4/58738
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 86,683 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(86,683) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(86,683) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(86,683) = ( 86 × 683 ) / 1
LCM(86,683) = 58738 / 1
LCM(86,683) = 58738
