Lets's calculate LCM of 315,3593
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1131795
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1131795
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3234/315,7472/3593 is 2/1131795
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 315,3593 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(315,3593) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(315,3593) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(315,3593) = ( 315 × 3593 ) / 1
LCM(315,3593) = 1131795 / 1
LCM(315,3593) = 1131795
