Lets's calculate LCM of 849,965
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 819285
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/819285
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3239/849,7972/965 is 1/819285
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 849,965 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(849,965) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(849,965) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(849,965) = ( 849 × 965 ) / 1
LCM(849,965) = 819285 / 1
LCM(849,965) = 819285
