Lets's calculate LCM of 652,469
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 305788
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 242/305788
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 968/652,3630/469 is 242/305788
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 652,469 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(652,469) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(652,469) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(652,469) = ( 652 × 469 ) / 1
LCM(652,469) = 305788 / 1
LCM(652,469) = 305788
