Lets's calculate LCM of 389,2229
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 867081
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/867081
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4281/389,6696/2229 is 3/867081
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 389,2229 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(389,2229) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(389,2229) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(389,2229) = ( 389 × 2229 ) / 1
LCM(389,2229) = 867081 / 1
LCM(389,2229) = 867081
