Lets's calculate LCM of 73,534
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 38982
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/38982
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2296/73,4197/534 is 1/38982
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 73,534 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,534) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,534) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,534) = ( 73 × 534 ) / 1
LCM(73,534) = 38982 / 1
LCM(73,534) = 38982
