So the greatest common factor 3722,8456 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 55,208
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/11440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3722/55,8456/208 is 2/11440
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 55,208 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(55,208) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(55,208) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(55,208) = ( 55 × 208 ) / 1
LCM(55,208) = 11440 / 1
LCM(55,208) = 11440
