Lets's calculate LCM of 344,7399
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2545256
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2545256
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5870/344,3578/7399 is 2/2545256
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 344,7399 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(344,7399) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(344,7399) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(344,7399) = ( 344 × 7399 ) / 1
LCM(344,7399) = 2545256 / 1
LCM(344,7399) = 2545256
