Lets's calculate LCM of 381,242
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 92202
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/92202
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 882/381,3777/242 is 3/92202
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 381,242 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(381,242) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(381,242) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(381,242) = ( 381 × 242 ) / 1
LCM(381,242) = 92202 / 1
LCM(381,242) = 92202
