Lets's calculate LCM of 211,689
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 145379
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/145379
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 974/211,762/689 is 2/145379
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 211,689 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(211,689) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(211,689) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(211,689) = ( 211 × 689 ) / 1
LCM(211,689) = 145379 / 1
LCM(211,689) = 145379
