Lets's calculate LCM of 357,737
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 263109
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/263109
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 364/357,3706/737 is 2/263109
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 357,737 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(357,737) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(357,737) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(357,737) = ( 357 × 737 ) / 1
LCM(357,737) = 263109 / 1
LCM(357,737) = 263109
