Lets's calculate LCM of 616,741
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 456456
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/456456
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8474/616,6858/741 is 2/456456
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 616,741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(616,741) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(616,741) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(616,741) = ( 616 × 741 ) / 1
LCM(616,741) = 456456 / 1
LCM(616,741) = 456456
