Lets's calculate LCM of 305,731
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 222955
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/222955
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 376/305,5382/731 is 2/222955
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 305,731 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(305,731) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(305,731) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(305,731) = ( 305 × 731 ) / 1
LCM(305,731) = 222955 / 1
LCM(305,731) = 222955
