So the greatest common factor 3582,1194 is 1194.
Lets's calculate LCM of 487,718
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 349666
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1194/349666
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3582/487,1194/718 is 1194/349666
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 487,718 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(487,718) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(487,718) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(487,718) = ( 487 × 718 ) / 1
LCM(487,718) = 349666 / 1
LCM(487,718) = 349666
