Lets's calculate LCM of 334,727
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 242818
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/242818
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2278/334,7204/727 is 2/242818
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 334,727 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(334,727) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(334,727) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(334,727) = ( 334 × 727 ) / 1
LCM(334,727) = 242818 / 1
LCM(334,727) = 242818
