Lets's calculate LCM of 831,4646
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3860826
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/3860826
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3123/831,6993/4646 is 9/3860826
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 831,4646 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(831,4646) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(831,4646) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(831,4646) = ( 831 × 4646 ) / 1
LCM(831,4646) = 3860826 / 1
LCM(831,4646) = 3860826
