So the greatest common factor 3886,3268 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 832,373
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 310336
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/310336
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3886/832,3268/373 is 2/310336
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 832,373 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(832,373) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(832,373) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(832,373) = ( 832 × 373 ) / 1
LCM(832,373) = 310336 / 1
LCM(832,373) = 310336
