Lets's calculate LCM of 438,8051
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3526338
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3526338
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3612/438,6291/8051 is 3/3526338
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 438,8051 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(438,8051) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(438,8051) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(438,8051) = ( 438 × 8051 ) / 1
LCM(438,8051) = 3526338 / 1
LCM(438,8051) = 3526338
