Lets's calculate LCM of 359,5822
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2090098
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2090098
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3454/359,6978/5822 is 2/2090098
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 359,5822 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(359,5822) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(359,5822) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(359,5822) = ( 359 × 5822 ) / 1
LCM(359,5822) = 2090098 / 1
LCM(359,5822) = 2090098
