Lets's calculate LCM of 752,7371
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5542992
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5542992
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3686/752,9176/7371 is 2/5542992
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 752,7371 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(752,7371) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(752,7371) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(752,7371) = ( 752 × 7371 ) / 1
LCM(752,7371) = 5542992 / 1
LCM(752,7371) = 5542992
