So the greatest common factor 230,6940 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 293,2943
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 862299
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/862299
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 230/293,6940/2943 is 10/862299
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 293,2943 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(293,2943) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(293,2943) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(293,2943) = ( 293 × 2943 ) / 1
LCM(293,2943) = 862299 / 1
LCM(293,2943) = 862299
