Lets's calculate LCM of 376,8845
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3325720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 24/3325720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3672/376,8544/8845 is 24/3325720
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 376,8845 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(376,8845) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(376,8845) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(376,8845) = ( 376 × 8845 ) / 1
LCM(376,8845) = 3325720 / 1
LCM(376,8845) = 3325720
