Lets's calculate LCM of 937,2672
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2503664
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2503664
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6989/937,3471/2672 is 1/2503664
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 937,2672 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(937,2672) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(937,2672) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(937,2672) = ( 937 × 2672 ) / 1
LCM(937,2672) = 2503664 / 1
LCM(937,2672) = 2503664
