So the greatest common factor 12,2048 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 993,8917
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8854581
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/8854581
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 12/993,2048/8917 is 4/8854581
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 993,8917 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(993,8917) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(993,8917) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(993,8917) = ( 993 × 8917 ) / 1
LCM(993,8917) = 8854581 / 1
LCM(993,8917) = 8854581
