Lets's calculate LCM of 391,9546
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3732486
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3732486
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 728/391,9162/9546 is 2/3732486
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 391,9546 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(391,9546) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(391,9546) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(391,9546) = ( 391 × 9546 ) / 1
LCM(391,9546) = 3732486 / 1
LCM(391,9546) = 3732486
