Lets's calculate LCM of 349,920
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 321080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/321080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6949/349,5491/920 is 1/321080
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 349,920 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(349,920) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(349,920) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(349,920) = ( 349 × 920 ) / 1
LCM(349,920) = 321080 / 1
LCM(349,920) = 321080
