Lets's calculate LCM of 116,2073
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 240468
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/240468
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3768/116,2977/2073 is 1/240468
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 116,2073 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(116,2073) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(116,2073) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(116,2073) = ( 116 × 2073 ) / 1
LCM(116,2073) = 240468 / 1
LCM(116,2073) = 240468
