Lets's calculate LCM of 298,191
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 56918
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/56918
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 338/298,736/191 is 2/56918
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 298,191 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(298,191) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(298,191) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(298,191) = ( 298 × 191 ) / 1
LCM(298,191) = 56918 / 1
LCM(298,191) = 56918
