Lets's calculate LCM of 358,599
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 214442
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/214442
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4940/358,3526/599 is 2/214442
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 358,599 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(358,599) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(358,599) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(358,599) = ( 358 × 599 ) / 1
LCM(358,599) = 214442 / 1
LCM(358,599) = 214442
