Lets's calculate LCM of 398,3771
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1500858
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1500858
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2953/398,9917/3771 is 1/1500858
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 398,3771 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(398,3771) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(398,3771) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(398,3771) = ( 398 × 3771 ) / 1
LCM(398,3771) = 1500858 / 1
LCM(398,3771) = 1500858
