Lets's calculate LCM of 320,697
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 223040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/223040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8298/320,7738/697 is 2/223040
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 320,697 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(320,697) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(320,697) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(320,697) = ( 320 × 697 ) / 1
LCM(320,697) = 223040 / 1
LCM(320,697) = 223040
