Lets's calculate LCM of 253,448
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 113344
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/113344
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 896/253,946/448 is 2/113344
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 253,448 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(253,448) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(253,448) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(253,448) = ( 253 × 448 ) / 1
LCM(253,448) = 113344 / 1
LCM(253,448) = 113344
