Lets's calculate LCM of 307,864
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 265248
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/265248
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4242/307,3633/864 is 21/265248
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 307,864 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(307,864) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(307,864) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(307,864) = ( 307 × 864 ) / 1
LCM(307,864) = 265248 / 1
LCM(307,864) = 265248
