Lets's calculate LCM of 307,238
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 73066
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/73066
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9662/307,8662/238 is 2/73066
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 307,238 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(307,238) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(307,238) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(307,238) = ( 307 × 238 ) / 1
LCM(307,238) = 73066 / 1
LCM(307,238) = 73066
