Lets's calculate LCM of 671,701
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 470371
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/470371
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 992/671,2242/701 is 2/470371
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 671,701 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(671,701) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(671,701) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(671,701) = ( 671 × 701 ) / 1
LCM(671,701) = 470371 / 1
LCM(671,701) = 470371
