So the greatest common factor 5622,3462 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 341,8853
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3018873
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/3018873
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5622/341,3462/8853 is 6/3018873
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 341,8853 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(341,8853) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(341,8853) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(341,8853) = ( 341 × 8853 ) / 1
LCM(341,8853) = 3018873 / 1
LCM(341,8853) = 3018873
