Lets's calculate LCM of 743,705
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 523815
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/523815
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2178/743,8578/705 is 2/523815
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 743,705 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(743,705) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(743,705) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(743,705) = ( 743 × 705 ) / 1
LCM(743,705) = 523815 / 1
LCM(743,705) = 523815
