So the greatest common factor 3645,6399 is 81.
Lets's calculate LCM of 442,401
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 177242
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 81/177242
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3645/442,6399/401 is 81/177242
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 442,401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(442,401) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(442,401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(442,401) = ( 442 × 401 ) / 1
LCM(442,401) = 177242 / 1
LCM(442,401) = 177242
