So the greatest common factor 9418,2562 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 360,143
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 51480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/51480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9418/360,2562/143 is 2/51480
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 360,143 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(360,143) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(360,143) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(360,143) = ( 360 × 143 ) / 1
LCM(360,143) = 51480 / 1
LCM(360,143) = 51480
