Lets's calculate LCM of 301,689
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 207389
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/207389
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 360/301,7172/689 is 4/207389
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 301,689 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(301,689) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(301,689) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(301,689) = ( 301 × 689 ) / 1
LCM(301,689) = 207389 / 1
LCM(301,689) = 207389
