So the greatest common factor 3621,4012 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 318,7553
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2401854
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/2401854
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3621/318,4012/7553 is 17/2401854
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 318,7553 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(318,7553) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(318,7553) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(318,7553) = ( 318 × 7553 ) / 1
LCM(318,7553) = 2401854 / 1
LCM(318,7553) = 2401854
