Lets's calculate LCM of 437,5632
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2461184
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/2461184
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6378/437,7902/5632 is 6/2461184
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 437,5632 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(437,5632) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(437,5632) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(437,5632) = ( 437 × 5632 ) / 1
LCM(437,5632) = 2461184 / 1
LCM(437,5632) = 2461184
