Lets's calculate LCM of 355,1307
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 463985
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/463985
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9608/355,3738/1307 is 2/463985
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 355,1307 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(355,1307) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(355,1307) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(355,1307) = ( 355 × 1307 ) / 1
LCM(355,1307) = 463985 / 1
LCM(355,1307) = 463985
