Lets's calculate LCM of 361,660
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 238260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/238260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 446/361,5892/660 is 2/238260
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 361,660 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(361,660) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(361,660) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(361,660) = ( 361 × 660 ) / 1
LCM(361,660) = 238260 / 1
LCM(361,660) = 238260
