Lets's calculate LCM of 297,745
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 221265
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/221265
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9974/297,9208/745 is 2/221265
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 297,745 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(297,745) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(297,745) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(297,745) = ( 297 × 745 ) / 1
LCM(297,745) = 221265 / 1
LCM(297,745) = 221265
