Lets's calculate LCM of 372,9055
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3368460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3368460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8643/372,4206/9055 is 3/3368460
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 372,9055 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(372,9055) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(372,9055) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(372,9055) = ( 372 × 9055 ) / 1
LCM(372,9055) = 3368460 / 1
LCM(372,9055) = 3368460
