Lets's calculate LCM of 362,337
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 121994
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/121994
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8967/362,7344/337 is 3/121994
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 362,337 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(362,337) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(362,337) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(362,337) = ( 362 × 337 ) / 1
LCM(362,337) = 121994 / 1
LCM(362,337) = 121994
