Lets's calculate LCM of 349,8924
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3114476
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3114476
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 87/349,7136/8924 is 1/3114476
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 349,8924 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(349,8924) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(349,8924) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(349,8924) = ( 349 × 8924 ) / 1
LCM(349,8924) = 3114476 / 1
LCM(349,8924) = 3114476
