Lets's calculate LCM of 371,1796
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 666316
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/666316
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8986/371,4626/1796 is 2/666316
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 371,1796 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(371,1796) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(371,1796) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(371,1796) = ( 371 × 1796 ) / 1
LCM(371,1796) = 666316 / 1
LCM(371,1796) = 666316
