Lets's calculate LCM of 532,6333
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3369156
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/3369156
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9472/532,8936/6333 is 8/3369156
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 532,6333 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(532,6333) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(532,6333) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(532,6333) = ( 532 × 6333 ) / 1
LCM(532,6333) = 3369156 / 1
LCM(532,6333) = 3369156
