So the greatest common factor 954,272 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,737
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 30217
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/30217
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 954/41,272/737 is 2/30217
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 41,737 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,737) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,737) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,737) = ( 41 × 737 ) / 1
LCM(41,737) = 30217 / 1
LCM(41,737) = 30217
