Lets's calculate LCM of 332,837
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 277884
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/277884
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9480/332,8637/837 is 3/277884
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 332,837 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(332,837) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(332,837) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(332,837) = ( 332 × 837 ) / 1
LCM(332,837) = 277884 / 1
LCM(332,837) = 277884
