Lets's calculate LCM of 274,7387
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2024038
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2024038
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2984/274,3711/7387 is 1/2024038
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 274,7387 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(274,7387) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(274,7387) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(274,7387) = ( 274 × 7387 ) / 1
LCM(274,7387) = 2024038 / 1
LCM(274,7387) = 2024038
