So the greatest common factor 5696,2344 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 831,6832
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5677392
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/5677392
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5696/831,2344/6832 is 8/5677392
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 831,6832 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(831,6832) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(831,6832) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(831,6832) = ( 831 × 6832 ) / 1
LCM(831,6832) = 5677392 / 1
LCM(831,6832) = 5677392
