Lets's calculate LCM of 299,777
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 232323
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/232323
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2856/299,5128/777 is 8/232323
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 299,777 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(299,777) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(299,777) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(299,777) = ( 299 × 777 ) / 1
LCM(299,777) = 232323 / 1
LCM(299,777) = 232323
