Lets's calculate LCM of 849,640
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 543360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/543360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2969/849,2372/640 is 1/543360
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 849,640 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(849,640) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(849,640) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(849,640) = ( 849 × 640 ) / 1
LCM(849,640) = 543360 / 1
LCM(849,640) = 543360
