Lets's calculate LCM of 436,659
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 287324
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/287324
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 368/436,456/659 is 8/287324
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 436,659 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(436,659) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(436,659) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(436,659) = ( 436 × 659 ) / 1
LCM(436,659) = 287324 / 1
LCM(436,659) = 287324
