Lets's calculate LCM of 649,978
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 634722
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/634722
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6812/649,4946/978 is 2/634722
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 649,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(649,978) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(649,978) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(649,978) = ( 649 × 978 ) / 1
LCM(649,978) = 634722 / 1
LCM(649,978) = 634722
