Lets's calculate LCM of 373,536
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 199928
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/199928
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8287/373,1772/536 is 1/199928
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 373,536 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(373,536) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(373,536) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(373,536) = ( 373 × 536 ) / 1
LCM(373,536) = 199928 / 1
LCM(373,536) = 199928
