Lets's calculate LCM of 642,607
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 389694
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/389694
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 996/642,301/607 is 1/389694
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 642,607 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(642,607) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(642,607) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(642,607) = ( 642 × 607 ) / 1
LCM(642,607) = 389694 / 1
LCM(642,607) = 389694
