Lets's calculate LCM of 420,9427
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3959340
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 248/3959340
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1736/420,9176/9427 is 248/3959340
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 420,9427 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(420,9427) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(420,9427) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(420,9427) = ( 420 × 9427 ) / 1
LCM(420,9427) = 3959340 / 1
LCM(420,9427) = 3959340
