Lets's calculate LCM of 318,1439
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 457602
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/457602
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1314/318,8642/1439 is 2/457602
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 318,1439 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(318,1439) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(318,1439) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(318,1439) = ( 318 × 1439 ) / 1
LCM(318,1439) = 457602 / 1
LCM(318,1439) = 457602
