Lets's calculate LCM of 349,148
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 51652
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/51652
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 740/349,1606/148 is 2/51652
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 349,148 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(349,148) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(349,148) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(349,148) = ( 349 × 148 ) / 1
LCM(349,148) = 51652 / 1
LCM(349,148) = 51652
