Lets's calculate LCM of 296,783
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 231768
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/231768
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1242/296,6419/783 is 1/231768
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 296,783 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(296,783) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(296,783) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(296,783) = ( 296 × 783 ) / 1
LCM(296,783) = 231768 / 1
LCM(296,783) = 231768
