Lets's calculate LCM of 342,841
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 287622
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/287622
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2078/342,8116/841 is 2/287622
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 342,841 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(342,841) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(342,841) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(342,841) = ( 342 × 841 ) / 1
LCM(342,841) = 287622 / 1
LCM(342,841) = 287622
