Lets's calculate LCM of 269,740
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 199060
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/199060
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 891/269,9615/740 is 3/199060
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 269,740 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(269,740) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(269,740) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(269,740) = ( 269 × 740 ) / 1
LCM(269,740) = 199060 / 1
LCM(269,740) = 199060
