Lets's calculate LCM of 385,624
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 240240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/240240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9536/385,1186/624 is 2/240240
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 385,624 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(385,624) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(385,624) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(385,624) = ( 385 × 624 ) / 1
LCM(385,624) = 240240 / 1
LCM(385,624) = 240240
