Lets's calculate LCM of 537,8509
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4569333
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/4569333
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3884/537,9176/8509 is 4/4569333
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 537,8509 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(537,8509) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(537,8509) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(537,8509) = ( 537 × 8509 ) / 1
LCM(537,8509) = 4569333 / 1
LCM(537,8509) = 4569333
