Lets's calculate LCM of 347,7478
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2594866
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/2594866
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1732/347,8952/7478 is 4/2594866
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 347,7478 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(347,7478) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(347,7478) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(347,7478) = ( 347 × 7478 ) / 1
LCM(347,7478) = 2594866 / 1
LCM(347,7478) = 2594866
