Lets's calculate LCM of 373,4345
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1620685
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1620685
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4636/373,2078/4345 is 2/1620685
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 373,4345 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(373,4345) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(373,4345) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(373,4345) = ( 373 × 4345 ) / 1
LCM(373,4345) = 1620685 / 1
LCM(373,4345) = 1620685
