Lets's calculate LCM of 937,8960
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8395520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/8395520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7408/937,9868/8960 is 4/8395520
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 937,8960 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(937,8960) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(937,8960) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(937,8960) = ( 937 × 8960 ) / 1
LCM(937,8960) = 8395520 / 1
LCM(937,8960) = 8395520
