So the greatest common factor 3731,3216 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 331,894
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 295914
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/295914
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3731/331,3216/894 is 1/295914
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 331,894 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(331,894) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(331,894) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(331,894) = ( 331 × 894 ) / 1
LCM(331,894) = 295914 / 1
LCM(331,894) = 295914
