Lets's calculate LCM of 293,696
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 203928
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/203928
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 287/293,920/696 is 1/203928
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 293,696 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(293,696) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(293,696) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(293,696) = ( 293 × 696 ) / 1
LCM(293,696) = 203928 / 1
LCM(293,696) = 203928
