Lets's calculate LCM of 361,116
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 41876
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/41876
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8645/361,2740/116 is 5/41876
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 361,116 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(361,116) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(361,116) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(361,116) = ( 361 × 116 ) / 1
LCM(361,116) = 41876 / 1
LCM(361,116) = 41876
