Lets's calculate LCM of 236,371
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 87556
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/87556
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3815/236,9885/371 is 5/87556
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 236,371 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,371) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(236,371) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(236,371) = ( 236 × 371 ) / 1
LCM(236,371) = 87556 / 1
LCM(236,371) = 87556
