Lets's calculate LCM of 361,349
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 125989
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/125989
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 550/361,9726/349 is 2/125989
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 361,349 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(361,349) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(361,349) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(361,349) = ( 361 × 349 ) / 1
LCM(361,349) = 125989 / 1
LCM(361,349) = 125989
