Lets's calculate LCM of 335,577
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 193295
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 22/193295
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3542/335,7150/577 is 22/193295
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 335,577 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(335,577) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(335,577) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(335,577) = ( 335 × 577 ) / 1
LCM(335,577) = 193295 / 1
LCM(335,577) = 193295
