Lets's calculate LCM of 887,849
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 753063
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/753063
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2916/887,7134/849 is 6/753063
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 887,849 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(887,849) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(887,849) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(887,849) = ( 887 × 849 ) / 1
LCM(887,849) = 753063 / 1
LCM(887,849) = 753063
