Lets's calculate LCM of 359,1334
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 478906
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/478906
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1579/359,5720/1334 is 1/478906
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 359,1334 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(359,1334) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(359,1334) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(359,1334) = ( 359 × 1334 ) / 1
LCM(359,1334) = 478906 / 1
LCM(359,1334) = 478906
