So the greatest common factor 2337,1572 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 535,1484
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 793940
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/793940
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2337/535,1572/1484 is 3/793940
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 535,1484 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(535,1484) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(535,1484) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(535,1484) = ( 535 × 1484 ) / 1
LCM(535,1484) = 793940 / 1
LCM(535,1484) = 793940
