Lets's calculate LCM of 359,618
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 221862
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/221862
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 385/359,538/618 is 1/221862
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 359,618 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(359,618) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(359,618) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(359,618) = ( 359 × 618 ) / 1
LCM(359,618) = 221862 / 1
LCM(359,618) = 221862
