Lets's calculate LCM of 576,395
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 227520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/227520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 937/576,972/395 is 1/227520
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 576,395 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(576,395) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(576,395) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(576,395) = ( 576 × 395 ) / 1
LCM(576,395) = 227520 / 1
LCM(576,395) = 227520
