Lets's calculate LCM of 657,2339
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1536723
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/1536723
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2944/657,2152/2339 is 8/1536723
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 657,2339 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(657,2339) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(657,2339) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(657,2339) = ( 657 × 2339 ) / 1
LCM(657,2339) = 1536723 / 1
LCM(657,2339) = 1536723
