Lets's calculate LCM of 846,359
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 303714
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/303714
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5297/846,1264/359 is 1/303714
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 846,359 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(846,359) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(846,359) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(846,359) = ( 846 × 359 ) / 1
LCM(846,359) = 303714 / 1
LCM(846,359) = 303714
