So the greatest common factor 8303,3542 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 772,437
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 337364
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/337364
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8303/772,3542/437 is 23/337364
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 772,437 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(772,437) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(772,437) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(772,437) = ( 772 × 437 ) / 1
LCM(772,437) = 337364 / 1
LCM(772,437) = 337364
