Lets's calculate LCM of 187,9644
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1803428
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1803428
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3876/187,3224/9644 is 4/1803428
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 187,9644 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(187,9644) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(187,9644) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(187,9644) = ( 187 × 9644 ) / 1
LCM(187,9644) = 1803428 / 1
LCM(187,9644) = 1803428
