So the greatest common factor 1272,5654 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 336,8461
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2842896
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2842896
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1272/336,5654/8461 is 2/2842896
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 336,8461 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(336,8461) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(336,8461) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(336,8461) = ( 336 × 8461 ) / 1
LCM(336,8461) = 2842896 / 1
LCM(336,8461) = 2842896
