Lets's calculate LCM of 849,843
3 | 849, 843 |
283, 281 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 283 x 281 = 238569
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/238569
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2566/849,3724/843 is 2/238569
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 849,843 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(849,843) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(849,843) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(849,843) = ( 849 × 843 ) / 3
LCM(849,843) = 715707 / 3
LCM(849,843) = 238569
