Lets's calculate LCM of 242,3677
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 889834
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/889834
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5098/242,1837/3677 is 1/889834
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 242,3677 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(242,3677) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(242,3677) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(242,3677) = ( 242 × 3677 ) / 1
LCM(242,3677) = 889834 / 1
LCM(242,3677) = 889834
