Lets's calculate LCM of 738,353
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 260514
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/260514
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 312/738,5102/353 is 2/260514
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 738,353 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(738,353) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(738,353) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(738,353) = ( 738 × 353 ) / 1
LCM(738,353) = 260514 / 1
LCM(738,353) = 260514
