So the greatest common factor 7162,6252 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 404,2381
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 961924
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/961924
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7162/404,6252/2381 is 2/961924
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 404,2381 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(404,2381) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(404,2381) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(404,2381) = ( 404 × 2381 ) / 1
LCM(404,2381) = 961924 / 1
LCM(404,2381) = 961924
