Lets's calculate LCM of 371,2152
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 798392
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/798392
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8726/371,2852/2152 is 2/798392
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 371,2152 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(371,2152) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(371,2152) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(371,2152) = ( 371 × 2152 ) / 1
LCM(371,2152) = 798392 / 1
LCM(371,2152) = 798392
