Lets's calculate LCM of 361,984
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 355224
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/355224
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 948/361,526/984 is 2/355224
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 361,984 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(361,984) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(361,984) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(361,984) = ( 361 × 984 ) / 1
LCM(361,984) = 355224 / 1
LCM(361,984) = 355224
