Lets's calculate LCM of 838,367
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 307546
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/307546
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7224/838,1207/367 is 1/307546
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 838,367 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(838,367) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(838,367) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(838,367) = ( 838 × 367 ) / 1
LCM(838,367) = 307546 / 1
LCM(838,367) = 307546
