Lets's calculate LCM of 809,301
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 243509
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/243509
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 738/809,964/301 is 2/243509
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 809,301 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(809,301) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(809,301) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(809,301) = ( 809 × 301 ) / 1
LCM(809,301) = 243509 / 1
LCM(809,301) = 243509
