Lets's calculate LCM of 937,794
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 743978
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/743978
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1132/937,5970/794 is 2/743978
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 937,794 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(937,794) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(937,794) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(937,794) = ( 937 × 794 ) / 1
LCM(937,794) = 743978 / 1
LCM(937,794) = 743978
