Lets's calculate LCM of 848,221
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 187408
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/187408
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1738/848,8223/221 is 1/187408
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 848,221 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(848,221) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(848,221) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(848,221) = ( 848 × 221 ) / 1
LCM(848,221) = 187408 / 1
LCM(848,221) = 187408
