Lets's calculate LCM of 342,1445
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 494190
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/494190
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4338/342,7493/1445 is 1/494190
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 342,1445 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(342,1445) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(342,1445) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(342,1445) = ( 342 × 1445 ) / 1
LCM(342,1445) = 494190 / 1
LCM(342,1445) = 494190
