Lets's calculate LCM of 674,8393
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5656882
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5656882
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2938/674,6072/8393 is 2/5656882
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 674,8393 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(674,8393) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(674,8393) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(674,8393) = ( 674 × 8393 ) / 1
LCM(674,8393) = 5656882 / 1
LCM(674,8393) = 5656882
