Lets's calculate LCM of 575,373
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 214475
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/214475
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 768/575,8872/373 is 8/214475
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 575,373 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(575,373) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(575,373) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(575,373) = ( 575 × 373 ) / 1
LCM(575,373) = 214475 / 1
LCM(575,373) = 214475
