Lets's calculate LCM of 769,9828
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7557732
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7557732
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1242/769,3256/9828 is 2/7557732
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 769,9828 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(769,9828) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(769,9828) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(769,9828) = ( 769 × 9828 ) / 1
LCM(769,9828) = 7557732 / 1
LCM(769,9828) = 7557732
