Lets's calculate LCM of 537,5344
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2869728
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 219/2869728
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3723/537,3942/5344 is 219/2869728
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 537,5344 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(537,5344) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(537,5344) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(537,5344) = ( 537 × 5344 ) / 1
LCM(537,5344) = 2869728 / 1
LCM(537,5344) = 2869728
