Lets's calculate LCM of 688,4257
43 | 688, 4257 |
16, 99 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 43 x 16 x 99 = 68112
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/68112
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8358/688,9704/4257 is 2/68112
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 688,4257 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(688,4257) = 43
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(688,4257) x common factors =43 x 1 = 43
LCM(688,4257) = ( 688 × 4257 ) / 43
LCM(688,4257) = 2928816 / 43
LCM(688,4257) = 68112
