Lets's calculate LCM of 385,183
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 70455
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/70455
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9982/385,3700/183 is 2/70455
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 385,183 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(385,183) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(385,183) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(385,183) = ( 385 × 183 ) / 1
LCM(385,183) = 70455 / 1
LCM(385,183) = 70455
