Lets's calculate LCM of 334,5885
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1965590
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/1965590
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1696/334,6296/5885 is 8/1965590
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 334,5885 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(334,5885) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(334,5885) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(334,5885) = ( 334 × 5885 ) / 1
LCM(334,5885) = 1965590 / 1
LCM(334,5885) = 1965590
