Lets's calculate LCM of 871,283
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 246493
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/246493
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 644/871,2942/283 is 2/246493
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 871,283 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(871,283) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(871,283) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(871,283) = ( 871 × 283 ) / 1
LCM(871,283) = 246493 / 1
LCM(871,283) = 246493
