Lets's calculate LCM of 386,283
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 109238
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/109238
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 156/386,7596/283 is 12/109238
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 386,283 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(386,283) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(386,283) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(386,283) = ( 386 × 283 ) / 1
LCM(386,283) = 109238 / 1
LCM(386,283) = 109238
