Lets's calculate LCM of 419,3372
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1412868
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1412868
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3621/419,9048/3372 is 3/1412868
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 419,3372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(419,3372) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(419,3372) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(419,3372) = ( 419 × 3372 ) / 1
LCM(419,3372) = 1412868 / 1
LCM(419,3372) = 1412868
