Lets's calculate LCM of 372,8539
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3176508
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3176508
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6305/372,8972/8539 is 1/3176508
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 372,8539 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(372,8539) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(372,8539) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(372,8539) = ( 372 × 8539 ) / 1
LCM(372,8539) = 3176508 / 1
LCM(372,8539) = 3176508
