Lets's calculate LCM of 352,7529
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2650208
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2650208
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/352,9879/7529 is 3/2650208
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 352,7529 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(352,7529) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(352,7529) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(352,7529) = ( 352 × 7529 ) / 1
LCM(352,7529) = 2650208 / 1
LCM(352,7529) = 2650208
