Lets's calculate LCM of 809,446
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 360814
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/360814
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3606/809,3682/446 is 2/360814
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 809,446 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(809,446) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(809,446) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(809,446) = ( 809 × 446 ) / 1
LCM(809,446) = 360814 / 1
LCM(809,446) = 360814
