Lets's calculate LCM of 283,332
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 93956
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/93956
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9972/283,7318/332 is 2/93956
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 283,332 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(283,332) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(283,332) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(283,332) = ( 283 × 332 ) / 1
LCM(283,332) = 93956 / 1
LCM(283,332) = 93956
