Lets's calculate LCM of 881,345
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 303945
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/303945
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 502/881,976/345 is 2/303945
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 881,345 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(881,345) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(881,345) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(881,345) = ( 881 × 345 ) / 1
LCM(881,345) = 303945 / 1
LCM(881,345) = 303945
