Lets's calculate LCM of 701,1344
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 942144
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/942144
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7156/701,3254/1344 is 2/942144
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 701,1344 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(701,1344) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(701,1344) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(701,1344) = ( 701 × 1344 ) / 1
LCM(701,1344) = 942144 / 1
LCM(701,1344) = 942144
