Lets's calculate LCM of 349,6879
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2400771
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2400771
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1838/349,5452/6879 is 2/2400771
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 349,6879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(349,6879) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(349,6879) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(349,6879) = ( 349 × 6879 ) / 1
LCM(349,6879) = 2400771 / 1
LCM(349,6879) = 2400771
