Lets's calculate LCM of 294,1261
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 370734
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/370734
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 103/294,2442/1261 is 1/370734
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 294,1261 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(294,1261) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(294,1261) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(294,1261) = ( 294 × 1261 ) / 1
LCM(294,1261) = 370734 / 1
LCM(294,1261) = 370734
