Lets's calculate LCM of 679,304
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 206416
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/206416
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9957/679,6837/304 is 3/206416
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 679,304 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(679,304) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(679,304) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(679,304) = ( 679 × 304 ) / 1
LCM(679,304) = 206416 / 1
LCM(679,304) = 206416
