Lets's calculate LCM of 244,5637
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1375428
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/1375428
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9864/244,5238/5637 is 18/1375428
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 244,5637 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(244,5637) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(244,5637) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(244,5637) = ( 244 × 5637 ) / 1
LCM(244,5637) = 1375428 / 1
LCM(244,5637) = 1375428
