Lets's calculate LCM of 407,9600
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3907200
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/3907200
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3268/407,1188/9600 is 4/3907200
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 407,9600 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(407,9600) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(407,9600) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(407,9600) = ( 407 × 9600 ) / 1
LCM(407,9600) = 3907200 / 1
LCM(407,9600) = 3907200
