Lets's calculate LCM of 361,488
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 176168
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/176168
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4044/361,7638/488 is 6/176168
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 361,488 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(361,488) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(361,488) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(361,488) = ( 361 × 488 ) / 1
LCM(361,488) = 176168 / 1
LCM(361,488) = 176168
