Lets's calculate LCM of 293,555
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 162615
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/162615
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 387/293,294/555 is 3/162615
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 293,555 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(293,555) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(293,555) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(293,555) = ( 293 × 555 ) / 1
LCM(293,555) = 162615 / 1
LCM(293,555) = 162615
