Lets's calculate LCM of 361,3024
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1091664
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1091664
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7938/361,8474/3024 is 2/1091664
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 361,3024 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(361,3024) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(361,3024) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(361,3024) = ( 361 × 3024 ) / 1
LCM(361,3024) = 1091664 / 1
LCM(361,3024) = 1091664
