Lets's calculate LCM of 607,2724
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1653468
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1653468
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1176/607,4442/2724 is 2/1653468
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 607,2724 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(607,2724) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(607,2724) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(607,2724) = ( 607 × 2724 ) / 1
LCM(607,2724) = 1653468 / 1
LCM(607,2724) = 1653468
