Lets's calculate LCM of 442,363
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 160446
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/160446
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8960/442,2638/363 is 2/160446
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 442,363 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(442,363) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(442,363) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(442,363) = ( 442 × 363 ) / 1
LCM(442,363) = 160446 / 1
LCM(442,363) = 160446
