Lets's calculate LCM of 882,6693
3 | 882, 6693 |
294, 2231 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 294 x 2231 = 1967742
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1967742
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2836/882,2646/6693 is 2/1967742
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 882,6693 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(882,6693) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(882,6693) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(882,6693) = ( 882 × 6693 ) / 3
LCM(882,6693) = 5903226 / 3
LCM(882,6693) = 1967742
