Lets's calculate LCM of 279,367
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 102393
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/102393
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1756/279,6938/367 is 2/102393
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 279,367 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,367) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(279,367) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(279,367) = ( 279 × 367 ) / 1
LCM(279,367) = 102393 / 1
LCM(279,367) = 102393
