So the greatest common factor 1244,2752 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 291,2438
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 709458
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/709458
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1244/291,2752/2438 is 4/709458
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 291,2438 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(291,2438) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(291,2438) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(291,2438) = ( 291 × 2438 ) / 1
LCM(291,2438) = 709458 / 1
LCM(291,2438) = 709458
