Lets's calculate LCM of 362,7419
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2685678
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/2685678
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3906/362,9972/7419 is 18/2685678
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 362,7419 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(362,7419) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(362,7419) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(362,7419) = ( 362 × 7419 ) / 1
LCM(362,7419) = 2685678 / 1
LCM(362,7419) = 2685678
