So the greatest common factor 2322,3572 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 89,379
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 33731
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/33731
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2322/89,3572/379 is 2/33731
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 89,379 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(89,379) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(89,379) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(89,379) = ( 89 × 379 ) / 1
LCM(89,379) = 33731 / 1
LCM(89,379) = 33731
