Lets's calculate LCM of 373,243
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 90639
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/90639
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6896/373,8882/243 is 2/90639
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 373,243 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(373,243) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(373,243) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(373,243) = ( 373 × 243 ) / 1
LCM(373,243) = 90639 / 1
LCM(373,243) = 90639
