Lets's calculate LCM of 643,509
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 327287
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/327287
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 840/643,3481/509 is 1/327287
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 643,509 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(643,509) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(643,509) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(643,509) = ( 643 × 509 ) / 1
LCM(643,509) = 327287 / 1
LCM(643,509) = 327287
