Lets's calculate LCM of 215,5436
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1168740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 34/1168740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3502/215,1768/5436 is 34/1168740
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 215,5436 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(215,5436) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(215,5436) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(215,5436) = ( 215 × 5436 ) / 1
LCM(215,5436) = 1168740 / 1
LCM(215,5436) = 1168740
