Lets's calculate LCM of 43,1789
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 76927
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/76927
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 294/43,589/1789 is 1/76927
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 43,1789 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,1789) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,1789) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,1789) = ( 43 × 1789 ) / 1
LCM(43,1789) = 76927 / 1
LCM(43,1789) = 76927
