Lets's calculate LCM of 391,6218
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2431238
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2431238
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7236/391,4031/6218 is 1/2431238
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 391,6218 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(391,6218) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(391,6218) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(391,6218) = ( 391 × 6218 ) / 1
LCM(391,6218) = 2431238 / 1
LCM(391,6218) = 2431238
