Lets's calculate LCM of 535,9184
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4913440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4913440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7442/535,1042/9184 is 2/4913440
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 535,9184 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(535,9184) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(535,9184) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(535,9184) = ( 535 × 9184 ) / 1
LCM(535,9184) = 4913440 / 1
LCM(535,9184) = 4913440
