Lets's calculate LCM of 296,2789
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 825544
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/825544
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 342/296,6043/2789 is 1/825544
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 296,2789 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(296,2789) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(296,2789) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(296,2789) = ( 296 × 2789 ) / 1
LCM(296,2789) = 825544 / 1
LCM(296,2789) = 825544
