Lets's calculate LCM of 761,2331
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1773891
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1773891
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6178/761,1622/2331 is 2/1773891
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 761,2331 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(761,2331) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(761,2331) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(761,2331) = ( 761 × 2331 ) / 1
LCM(761,2331) = 1773891 / 1
LCM(761,2331) = 1773891
