So the greatest common factor 297,336 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 337,642
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 216354
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/216354
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 297/337,336/642 is 3/216354
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 337,642 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(337,642) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(337,642) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(337,642) = ( 337 × 642 ) / 1
LCM(337,642) = 216354 / 1
LCM(337,642) = 216354
