Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3546/234,1052/9782 is 2/1144494
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 234,9782 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(234,9782) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(234,9782) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(234,9782) = ( 234 × 9782 ) / 2
LCM(234,9782) = 2288988 / 2
LCM(234,9782) = 1144494
