Lets's calculate LCM of 938,3085
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2893730
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/2893730
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3476/938,2536/3085 is 4/2893730
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 938,3085 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(938,3085) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(938,3085) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(938,3085) = ( 938 × 3085 ) / 1
LCM(938,3085) = 2893730 / 1
LCM(938,3085) = 2893730
