Lets's calculate LCM of 355,874
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 310270
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/310270
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 685/355,338/874 is 1/310270
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 355,874 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(355,874) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(355,874) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(355,874) = ( 355 × 874 ) / 1
LCM(355,874) = 310270 / 1
LCM(355,874) = 310270
