Lets's calculate LCM of 347,472
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 163784
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/163784
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9278/347,5904/472 is 2/163784
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 347,472 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(347,472) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(347,472) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(347,472) = ( 347 × 472 ) / 1
LCM(347,472) = 163784 / 1
LCM(347,472) = 163784
