Lets's calculate LCM of 377,167
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 62959
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/62959
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1862/377,8338/167 is 2/62959
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 377,167 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(377,167) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(377,167) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(377,167) = ( 377 × 167 ) / 1
LCM(377,167) = 62959 / 1
LCM(377,167) = 62959
