Lets's calculate LCM of 99,535
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 52965
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/52965
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 356/99,962/535 is 2/52965
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 99,535 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,535) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,535) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(99,535) = ( 99 × 535 ) / 1
LCM(99,535) = 52965 / 1
LCM(99,535) = 52965
