Lets's calculate LCM of 737,426
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 313962
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/313962
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9636/737,4520/426 is 4/313962
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 737,426 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(737,426) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(737,426) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(737,426) = ( 737 × 426 ) / 1
LCM(737,426) = 313962 / 1
LCM(737,426) = 313962
