Lets's calculate LCM of 457,2839
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1297423
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1297423
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9144/457,2938/2839 is 2/1297423
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 457,2839 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(457,2839) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(457,2839) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(457,2839) = ( 457 × 2839 ) / 1
LCM(457,2839) = 1297423 / 1
LCM(457,2839) = 1297423
