Lets's calculate LCM of 349,4977
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1736973
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1736973
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7522/349,1636/4977 is 2/1736973
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 349,4977 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(349,4977) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(349,4977) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(349,4977) = ( 349 × 4977 ) / 1
LCM(349,4977) = 1736973 / 1
LCM(349,4977) = 1736973
