Lets's calculate LCM of 536,149
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 79864
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/79864
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 394/536,2502/149 is 2/79864
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 536,149 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(536,149) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(536,149) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(536,149) = ( 536 × 149 ) / 1
LCM(536,149) = 79864 / 1
LCM(536,149) = 79864
