Lets's calculate LCM of 337,8860
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2985820
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2985820
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3527/337,2042/8860 is 1/2985820
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 337,8860 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(337,8860) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(337,8860) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(337,8860) = ( 337 × 8860 ) / 1
LCM(337,8860) = 2985820 / 1
LCM(337,8860) = 2985820
