Lets's calculate LCM of 742,1389
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1030638
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1030638
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3626/742,3868/1389 is 2/1030638
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 742,1389 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(742,1389) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(742,1389) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(742,1389) = ( 742 × 1389 ) / 1
LCM(742,1389) = 1030638 / 1
LCM(742,1389) = 1030638
