Lets's calculate LCM of 381,2883
| 3 | 381, 2883 |
| 127, 961 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 127 x 961 = 366141
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/366141
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6174/381,1472/2883 is 2/366141
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 381,2883 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(381,2883) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(381,2883) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(381,2883) = ( 381 × 2883 ) / 3
LCM(381,2883) = 1098423 / 3
LCM(381,2883) = 366141
