So the greatest common factor 3291,3543 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 387,1615
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 625005
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/625005
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3291/387,3543/1615 is 3/625005
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 387,1615 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(387,1615) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(387,1615) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(387,1615) = ( 387 × 1615 ) / 1
LCM(387,1615) = 625005 / 1
LCM(387,1615) = 625005
