Lets's calculate LCM of 761,377
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 286897
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/286897
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9736/761,8870/377 is 2/286897
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 761,377 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(761,377) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(761,377) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(761,377) = ( 761 × 377 ) / 1
LCM(761,377) = 286897 / 1
LCM(761,377) = 286897
