Lets's calculate LCM of 349,744
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 259656
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/259656
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 180/349,5537/744 is 1/259656
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 349,744 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(349,744) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(349,744) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(349,744) = ( 349 × 744 ) / 1
LCM(349,744) = 259656 / 1
LCM(349,744) = 259656
