Lets's calculate LCM of 73,372
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 27156
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/27156
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 352/73,938/372 is 2/27156
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 73,372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,372) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,372) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,372) = ( 73 × 372 ) / 1
LCM(73,372) = 27156 / 1
LCM(73,372) = 27156
