Lets's calculate LCM of 358,489
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 175062
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/175062
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 655/358,948/489 is 1/175062
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 358,489 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(358,489) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(358,489) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(358,489) = ( 358 × 489 ) / 1
LCM(358,489) = 175062 / 1
LCM(358,489) = 175062
