Lets's calculate LCM of 381,7621
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2903601
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2903601
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4872/381,3147/7621 is 3/2903601
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 381,7621 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(381,7621) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(381,7621) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(381,7621) = ( 381 × 7621 ) / 1
LCM(381,7621) = 2903601 / 1
LCM(381,7621) = 2903601
