Lets's calculate LCM of 343,2868
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 983724
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/983724
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3470/343,9946/2868 is 2/983724
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 343,2868 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(343,2868) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(343,2868) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(343,2868) = ( 343 × 2868 ) / 1
LCM(343,2868) = 983724 / 1
LCM(343,2868) = 983724
