Lets's calculate LCM of 943,3457
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3259951
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3259951
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8072/943,1942/3457 is 2/3259951
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 943,3457 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(943,3457) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(943,3457) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(943,3457) = ( 943 × 3457 ) / 1
LCM(943,3457) = 3259951 / 1
LCM(943,3457) = 3259951
