Lets's calculate LCM of 889,344
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 305816
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/305816
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5204/889,5624/344 is 4/305816
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 889,344 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(889,344) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(889,344) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(889,344) = ( 889 × 344 ) / 1
LCM(889,344) = 305816 / 1
LCM(889,344) = 305816
