Lets's calculate LCM of 339,722
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 244758
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/244758
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5458/339,4438/722 is 2/244758
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 339,722 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(339,722) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(339,722) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(339,722) = ( 339 × 722 ) / 1
LCM(339,722) = 244758 / 1
LCM(339,722) = 244758
