Lets's calculate LCM of 561,338
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 189618
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/189618
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6862/561,8611/338 is 1/189618
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 561,338 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(561,338) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(561,338) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(561,338) = ( 561 × 338 ) / 1
LCM(561,338) = 189618 / 1
LCM(561,338) = 189618
