Lets's calculate LCM of 117,437
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 51129
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/51129
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 534/117,274/437 is 2/51129
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 117,437 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(117,437) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(117,437) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(117,437) = ( 117 × 437 ) / 1
LCM(117,437) = 51129 / 1
LCM(117,437) = 51129
