Lets's calculate LCM of 623,438
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 272874
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/272874
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 314/623,948/438 is 2/272874
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 623,438 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(623,438) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(623,438) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(623,438) = ( 623 × 438 ) / 1
LCM(623,438) = 272874 / 1
LCM(623,438) = 272874
