Lets's calculate LCM of 705,464
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 327120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/327120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1516/705,5884/464 is 4/327120
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 705,464 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(705,464) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(705,464) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(705,464) = ( 705 × 464 ) / 1
LCM(705,464) = 327120 / 1
LCM(705,464) = 327120
