Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6123/332,3429/1438 is 3/238708
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 332,1438 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(332,1438) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(332,1438) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(332,1438) = ( 332 × 1438 ) / 2
LCM(332,1438) = 477416 / 2
LCM(332,1438) = 238708
