Lets's calculate LCM of 424,7377
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3127848
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3127848
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7731/424,4042/7377 is 1/3127848
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 424,7377 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(424,7377) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(424,7377) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(424,7377) = ( 424 × 7377 ) / 1
LCM(424,7377) = 3127848 / 1
LCM(424,7377) = 3127848
