So the greatest common factor 343,186 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 942,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 462522
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/462522
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 343/942,186/491 is 1/462522
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 942,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(942,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(942,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(942,491) = ( 942 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(942,491) = 462522 / 1
LCM(942,491) = 462522
