So the greatest common factor 3046,3964 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 643,548
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 352364
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/352364
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3046/643,3964/548 is 2/352364
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 643,548 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(643,548) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(643,548) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(643,548) = ( 643 × 548 ) / 1
LCM(643,548) = 352364 / 1
LCM(643,548) = 352364
