Lets's calculate LCM of 344,4489
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1544216
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1544216
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5816/344,9542/4489 is 2/1544216
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 344,4489 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(344,4489) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(344,4489) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(344,4489) = ( 344 × 4489 ) / 1
LCM(344,4489) = 1544216 / 1
LCM(344,4489) = 1544216
