So the greatest common factor 840,486 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 65,654
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 42510
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/42510
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 840/65,486/654 is 6/42510
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 65,654 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(65,654) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(65,654) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(65,654) = ( 65 × 654 ) / 1
LCM(65,654) = 42510 / 1
LCM(65,654) = 42510
