Lets's calculate LCM of 355,246
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 87330
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/87330
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3750/355,5644/246 is 2/87330
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 355,246 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(355,246) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(355,246) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(355,246) = ( 355 × 246 ) / 1
LCM(355,246) = 87330 / 1
LCM(355,246) = 87330
