Lets's calculate LCM of 383,221
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 84643
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/84643
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6836/383,5917/221 is 1/84643
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 383,221 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(383,221) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(383,221) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(383,221) = ( 383 × 221 ) / 1
LCM(383,221) = 84643 / 1
LCM(383,221) = 84643
