Lets's calculate LCM of 203,372
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 75516
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/75516
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 950/203,542/372 is 2/75516
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 203,372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(203,372) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(203,372) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(203,372) = ( 203 × 372 ) / 1
LCM(203,372) = 75516 / 1
LCM(203,372) = 75516
