So the greatest common factor 6242,1392 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 377,199
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 75023
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/75023
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6242/377,1392/199 is 2/75023
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 377,199 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(377,199) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(377,199) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(377,199) = ( 377 × 199 ) / 1
LCM(377,199) = 75023 / 1
LCM(377,199) = 75023
