Lets's calculate LCM of 636,451
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 286836
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/286836
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8728/636,1230/451 is 2/286836
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 636,451 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(636,451) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(636,451) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(636,451) = ( 636 × 451 ) / 1
LCM(636,451) = 286836 / 1
LCM(636,451) = 286836
