So the greatest common factor 3844,9544 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 445,317
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 141065
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/141065
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3844/445,9544/317 is 4/141065
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 445,317 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(445,317) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(445,317) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(445,317) = ( 445 × 317 ) / 1
LCM(445,317) = 141065 / 1
LCM(445,317) = 141065
