Lets's calculate LCM of 36,343
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12348
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/12348
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 962/36,685/343 is 1/12348
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 36,343 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,343) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,343) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(36,343) = ( 36 × 343 ) / 1
LCM(36,343) = 12348 / 1
LCM(36,343) = 12348
