Lets's calculate LCM of 419,378
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 158382
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/158382
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 672/419,962/378 is 2/158382
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 419,378 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(419,378) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(419,378) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(419,378) = ( 419 × 378 ) / 1
LCM(419,378) = 158382 / 1
LCM(419,378) = 158382
