Lets's calculate LCM of 4342,8881
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 38561302
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/38561302
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 978/4342,568/8881 is 2/38561302
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 4342,8881 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(4342,8881) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(4342,8881) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(4342,8881) = ( 4342 × 8881 ) / 1
LCM(4342,8881) = 38561302 / 1
LCM(4342,8881) = 38561302
