Lets's calculate LCM of 331,563
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 186353
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/186353
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8642/331,2322/563 is 2/186353
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 331,563 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(331,563) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(331,563) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(331,563) = ( 331 × 563 ) / 1
LCM(331,563) = 186353 / 1
LCM(331,563) = 186353
