Lets's calculate LCM of 376,2621
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 985496
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/985496
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8981/376,8672/2621 is 1/985496
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 376,2621 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(376,2621) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(376,2621) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(376,2621) = ( 376 × 2621 ) / 1
LCM(376,2621) = 985496 / 1
LCM(376,2621) = 985496
