Lets's calculate LCM of 317,994
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 315098
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/315098
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3824/317,3568/994 is 16/315098
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 317,994 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(317,994) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(317,994) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(317,994) = ( 317 × 994 ) / 1
LCM(317,994) = 315098 / 1
LCM(317,994) = 315098
