Lets's calculate LCM of 404,4373
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1766692
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1766692
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2746/404,2940/4373 is 2/1766692
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 404,4373 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(404,4373) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(404,4373) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(404,4373) = ( 404 × 4373 ) / 1
LCM(404,4373) = 1766692 / 1
LCM(404,4373) = 1766692
