Lets's calculate LCM of 703,8955
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6295365
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6295365
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1142/703,4258/8955 is 2/6295365
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 703,8955 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(703,8955) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(703,8955) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(703,8955) = ( 703 × 8955 ) / 1
LCM(703,8955) = 6295365 / 1
LCM(703,8955) = 6295365
