Lets's calculate LCM of 449,571
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 256379
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/256379
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 336/449,2432/571 is 16/256379
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 449,571 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(449,571) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(449,571) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(449,571) = ( 449 × 571 ) / 1
LCM(449,571) = 256379 / 1
LCM(449,571) = 256379
