Lets's calculate LCM of 338,921,353
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 109888194
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/109888194
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 294/338,340/921,842/353 is 2/109888194
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 338,921,353 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(338,921,353) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(338,921,353) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(338,921,353) = ( 338 × 921 × 353 ) / 1
LCM(338,921,353) = 109888194 / 1
LCM(338,921,353) = 109888194
