Lets's calculate LCM of 389,878
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 341542
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/341542
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4191/389,8985/878 is 3/341542
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 389,878 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(389,878) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(389,878) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(389,878) = ( 389 × 878 ) / 1
LCM(389,878) = 341542 / 1
LCM(389,878) = 341542
