Lets's calculate LCM of 362,735
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 266070
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/266070
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3238/362,8728/735 is 2/266070
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 362,735 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(362,735) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(362,735) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(362,735) = ( 362 × 735 ) / 1
LCM(362,735) = 266070 / 1
LCM(362,735) = 266070
