Lets's calculate LCM of 340,923
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 313820
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/313820
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 968/340,292/923 is 4/313820
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 340,923 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(340,923) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(340,923) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(340,923) = ( 340 × 923 ) / 1
LCM(340,923) = 313820 / 1
LCM(340,923) = 313820
