Lets's calculate LCM of 883,384
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 339072
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/339072
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 238/883,5152/384 is 14/339072
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 883,384 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(883,384) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(883,384) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(883,384) = ( 883 × 384 ) / 1
LCM(883,384) = 339072 / 1
LCM(883,384) = 339072
