Lets's calculate LCM of 292,3979
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1161868
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1161868
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9538/292,2686/3979 is 2/1161868
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 292,3979 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(292,3979) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(292,3979) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(292,3979) = ( 292 × 3979 ) / 1
LCM(292,3979) = 1161868 / 1
LCM(292,3979) = 1161868
