Lets's calculate LCM of 8368,2189
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 18317552
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/18317552
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 736/8368,989/2189 is 23/18317552
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 8368,2189 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(8368,2189) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(8368,2189) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(8368,2189) = ( 8368 × 2189 ) / 1
LCM(8368,2189) = 18317552 / 1
LCM(8368,2189) = 18317552
