Lets's calculate LCM of 272,9339
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2540208
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2540208
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5644/272,2918/9339 is 2/2540208
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 272,9339 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(272,9339) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(272,9339) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(272,9339) = ( 272 × 9339 ) / 1
LCM(272,9339) = 2540208 / 1
LCM(272,9339) = 2540208
