Lets's calculate LCM of 704,697
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 490688
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/490688
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8522/704,7168/697 is 2/490688
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 704,697 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(704,697) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(704,697) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(704,697) = ( 704 × 697 ) / 1
LCM(704,697) = 490688 / 1
LCM(704,697) = 490688
