Lets's calculate LCM of 349,852
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 297348
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/297348
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3308/349,8752/852 is 4/297348
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 349,852 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(349,852) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(349,852) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(349,852) = ( 349 × 852 ) / 1
LCM(349,852) = 297348 / 1
LCM(349,852) = 297348
