Lets's calculate LCM of 322,1221
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 393162
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/393162
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3296/322,4138/1221 is 2/393162
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 322,1221 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(322,1221) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(322,1221) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(322,1221) = ( 322 × 1221 ) / 1
LCM(322,1221) = 393162 / 1
LCM(322,1221) = 393162
