Lets's calculate LCM of 643,384
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 246912
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/246912
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5817/643,4238/384 is 1/246912
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 643,384 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(643,384) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(643,384) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(643,384) = ( 643 × 384 ) / 1
LCM(643,384) = 246912 / 1
LCM(643,384) = 246912
