So the greatest common factor 3543,7024 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 342,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 167922
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/167922
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3543/342,7024/491 is 1/167922
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 342,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(342,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(342,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(342,491) = ( 342 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(342,491) = 167922 / 1
LCM(342,491) = 167922
