Lets's calculate LCM of 344,2445
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 841080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/841080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 14/344,3582/2445 is 2/841080
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 344,2445 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(344,2445) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(344,2445) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(344,2445) = ( 344 × 2445 ) / 1
LCM(344,2445) = 841080 / 1
LCM(344,2445) = 841080
