Lets's calculate LCM of 7671,9635
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 73910085
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/73910085
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 532/7671,742/9635 is 14/73910085
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 7671,9635 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(7671,9635) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(7671,9635) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(7671,9635) = ( 7671 × 9635 ) / 1
LCM(7671,9635) = 73910085 / 1
LCM(7671,9635) = 73910085
