So the greatest common factor 2902,4182 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 857,8387
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7187659
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7187659
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2902/857,4182/8387 is 2/7187659
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 857,8387 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(857,8387) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(857,8387) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(857,8387) = ( 857 × 8387 ) / 1
LCM(857,8387) = 7187659 / 1
LCM(857,8387) = 7187659
