Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3650/187,7438/517 is 2/8789
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 187,517 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(187,517) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(187,517) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(187,517) = ( 187 × 517 ) / 11
LCM(187,517) = 96679 / 11
LCM(187,517) = 8789
