Lets's calculate LCM of 338,969
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 327522
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/327522
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6718/338,8256/969 is 2/327522
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 338,969 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(338,969) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(338,969) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(338,969) = ( 338 × 969 ) / 1
LCM(338,969) = 327522 / 1
LCM(338,969) = 327522
