Lets's calculate LCM of 380,9741
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3701580
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/3701580
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2874/380,9378/9741 is 6/3701580
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 380,9741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(380,9741) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(380,9741) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(380,9741) = ( 380 × 9741 ) / 1
LCM(380,9741) = 3701580 / 1
LCM(380,9741) = 3701580
