Lets's calculate LCM of 331,4212
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1394172
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1394172
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3861/331,8588/4212 is 1/1394172
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 331,4212 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(331,4212) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(331,4212) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(331,4212) = ( 331 × 4212 ) / 1
LCM(331,4212) = 1394172 / 1
LCM(331,4212) = 1394172
