Lets's calculate LCM of 242,3497
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 846274
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/846274
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 624/242,5966/3497 is 2/846274
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 242,3497 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(242,3497) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(242,3497) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(242,3497) = ( 242 × 3497 ) / 1
LCM(242,3497) = 846274 / 1
LCM(242,3497) = 846274
