Lets's calculate LCM of 676,704
| 2 | 676, 704 |
| 2 | 338, 352 |
| 169, 176 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 169 x 176 = 118976
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/118976
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 866/676,4040/704 is 2/118976
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 676,704 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(676,704) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(676,704) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(676,704) = ( 676 × 704 ) / 4
LCM(676,704) = 475904 / 4
LCM(676,704) = 118976
