Lets's calculate LCM of 509,688
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 350192
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/350192
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 360/509,2442/688 is 6/350192
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 509,688 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(509,688) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(509,688) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(509,688) = ( 509 × 688 ) / 1
LCM(509,688) = 350192 / 1
LCM(509,688) = 350192
