Lets's calculate LCM of 661,637
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 421057
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/421057
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3201/661,7579/637 is 11/421057
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 661,637 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(661,637) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(661,637) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(661,637) = ( 661 × 637 ) / 1
LCM(661,637) = 421057 / 1
LCM(661,637) = 421057
