So the greatest common factor 385,4686 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 843,359
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 302637
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/302637
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 385/843,4686/359 is 11/302637
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 843,359 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(843,359) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(843,359) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(843,359) = ( 843 × 359 ) / 1
LCM(843,359) = 302637 / 1
LCM(843,359) = 302637
