Lets's calculate LCM of 157,340
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 53380
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/53380
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 293/157,5926/340 is 1/53380
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 157,340 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(157,340) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(157,340) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(157,340) = ( 157 × 340 ) / 1
LCM(157,340) = 53380 / 1
LCM(157,340) = 53380
