Lets's calculate LCM of 657,7418
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4873626
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/4873626
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 85/657,3417/7418 is 17/4873626
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 657,7418 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(657,7418) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(657,7418) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(657,7418) = ( 657 × 7418 ) / 1
LCM(657,7418) = 4873626 / 1
LCM(657,7418) = 4873626
