Lets's calculate LCM of 94,397
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 37318
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 59/37318
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2596/94,1357/397 is 59/37318
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 94,397 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(94,397) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(94,397) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(94,397) = ( 94 × 397 ) / 1
LCM(94,397) = 37318 / 1
LCM(94,397) = 37318
