Lets's calculate LCM of 619,7431
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4599789
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/4599789
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9372/619,6972/7431 is 12/4599789
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 619,7431 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(619,7431) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(619,7431) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(619,7431) = ( 619 × 7431 ) / 1
LCM(619,7431) = 4599789 / 1
LCM(619,7431) = 4599789
