Lets's calculate LCM of 851,7993
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6802043
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6802043
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2662/851,8378/7993 is 2/6802043
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 851,7993 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(851,7993) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(851,7993) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(851,7993) = ( 851 × 7993 ) / 1
LCM(851,7993) = 6802043 / 1
LCM(851,7993) = 6802043
