Lets's calculate LCM of 443,542
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 240106
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/240106
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 660/443,3158/542 is 2/240106
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 443,542 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(443,542) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(443,542) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(443,542) = ( 443 × 542 ) / 1
LCM(443,542) = 240106 / 1
LCM(443,542) = 240106
