Lets's calculate LCM of 688,4451
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3062288
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/3062288
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9979/688,3485/4451 is 17/3062288
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 688,4451 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(688,4451) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(688,4451) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(688,4451) = ( 688 × 4451 ) / 1
LCM(688,4451) = 3062288 / 1
LCM(688,4451) = 3062288
