Lets's calculate LCM of 462,3821
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1765302
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1765302
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2188/462,4198/3821 is 2/1765302
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 462,3821 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(462,3821) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(462,3821) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(462,3821) = ( 462 × 3821 ) / 1
LCM(462,3821) = 1765302 / 1
LCM(462,3821) = 1765302
