Lets's calculate LCM of 873,689
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 601497
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/601497
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7492/873,4550/689 is 2/601497
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 873,689 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(873,689) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(873,689) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(873,689) = ( 873 × 689 ) / 1
LCM(873,689) = 601497 / 1
LCM(873,689) = 601497
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
