Lets's calculate LCM of 669,473
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 316437
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/316437
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 996/669,798/473 is 6/316437
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 669,473 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(669,473) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(669,473) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(669,473) = ( 669 × 473 ) / 1
LCM(669,473) = 316437 / 1
LCM(669,473) = 316437
