Lets's calculate LCM of 359,538
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 193142
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/193142
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3460/359,4555/538 is 5/193142
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 359,538 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(359,538) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(359,538) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(359,538) = ( 359 × 538 ) / 1
LCM(359,538) = 193142 / 1
LCM(359,538) = 193142
