Lets's calculate LCM of 233,3681
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 857673
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/857673
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5043/233,9378/3681 is 3/857673
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 233,3681 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(233,3681) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(233,3681) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(233,3681) = ( 233 × 3681 ) / 1
LCM(233,3681) = 857673 / 1
LCM(233,3681) = 857673
