Lets's calculate LCM of 993,3332
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3308676
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/3308676
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1212/993,7320/3332 is 12/3308676
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 993,3332 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(993,3332) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(993,3332) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(993,3332) = ( 993 × 3332 ) / 1
LCM(993,3332) = 3308676 / 1
LCM(993,3332) = 3308676
