Lets's calculate LCM of 373,981
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 365913
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/365913
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 156/373,958/981 is 2/365913
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 373,981 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(373,981) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(373,981) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(373,981) = ( 373 × 981 ) / 1
LCM(373,981) = 365913 / 1
LCM(373,981) = 365913
