Lets's calculate LCM of 368,5531
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2035408
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/2035408
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/368,8196/5531 is 12/2035408
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 368,5531 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(368,5531) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(368,5531) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(368,5531) = ( 368 × 5531 ) / 1
LCM(368,5531) = 2035408 / 1
LCM(368,5531) = 2035408
