Lets's calculate LCM of 449,815
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 365935
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/365935
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 558/449,3402/815 is 18/365935
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 449,815 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(449,815) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(449,815) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(449,815) = ( 449 × 815 ) / 1
LCM(449,815) = 365935 / 1
LCM(449,815) = 365935
