Lets's calculate LCM of 480,299
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 143520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/143520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7338/480,6611/299 is 1/143520
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 480,299 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(480,299) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(480,299) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(480,299) = ( 480 × 299 ) / 1
LCM(480,299) = 143520 / 1
LCM(480,299) = 143520
