So the greatest common factor 348,987 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 391,535
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 209185
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/209185
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 348/391,987/535 is 3/209185
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 391,535 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(391,535) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(391,535) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(391,535) = ( 391 × 535 ) / 1
LCM(391,535) = 209185 / 1
LCM(391,535) = 209185
