Lets's calculate LCM of 757,6161
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4663877
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4663877
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3742/757,9342/6161 is 2/4663877
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 757,6161 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(757,6161) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(757,6161) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(757,6161) = ( 757 × 6161 ) / 1
LCM(757,6161) = 4663877 / 1
LCM(757,6161) = 4663877
