Lets's calculate LCM of 36,247
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8892
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/8892
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7406/36,3712/247 is 2/8892
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 36,247 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,247) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,247) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(36,247) = ( 36 × 247 ) / 1
LCM(36,247) = 8892 / 1
LCM(36,247) = 8892
