Lets's calculate LCM of 863,378
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 326214
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/326214
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 350/863,956/378 is 2/326214
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 863,378 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(863,378) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(863,378) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(863,378) = ( 863 × 378 ) / 1
LCM(863,378) = 326214 / 1
LCM(863,378) = 326214
