Lets's calculate LCM of 272,9357
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2545104
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2545104
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3552/272,3609/9357 is 3/2545104
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 272,9357 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(272,9357) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(272,9357) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(272,9357) = ( 272 × 9357 ) / 1
LCM(272,9357) = 2545104 / 1
LCM(272,9357) = 2545104
