Lets's calculate LCM of 449,748
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 335852
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 389/335852
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 389/449,778/748 is 389/335852
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 449,748 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(449,748) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(449,748) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(449,748) = ( 449 × 748 ) / 1
LCM(449,748) = 335852 / 1
LCM(449,748) = 335852
