Lets's calculate LCM of 937,778
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 728986
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/728986
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 185/937,642/778 is 1/728986
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 937,778 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(937,778) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(937,778) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(937,778) = ( 937 × 778 ) / 1
LCM(937,778) = 728986 / 1
LCM(937,778) = 728986
