Lets's calculate LCM of 383,3997
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1530851
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/1530851
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 162/383,8379/3997 is 9/1530851
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 383,3997 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(383,3997) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(383,3997) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(383,3997) = ( 383 × 3997 ) / 1
LCM(383,3997) = 1530851 / 1
LCM(383,3997) = 1530851
