Lets's calculate LCM of 386,615
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 237390
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/237390
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 160/386,6598/615 is 2/237390
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 386,615 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(386,615) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(386,615) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(386,615) = ( 386 × 615 ) / 1
LCM(386,615) = 237390 / 1
LCM(386,615) = 237390
