So the greatest common factor 1866,3159 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 359,3827
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1373893
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1373893
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1866/359,3159/3827 is 3/1373893
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 359,3827 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(359,3827) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(359,3827) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(359,3827) = ( 359 × 3827 ) / 1
LCM(359,3827) = 1373893 / 1
LCM(359,3827) = 1373893
