Lets's calculate LCM of 884,7147
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6317948
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6317948
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3398/884,6944/7147 is 2/6317948
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 884,7147 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(884,7147) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(884,7147) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(884,7147) = ( 884 × 7147 ) / 1
LCM(884,7147) = 6317948 / 1
LCM(884,7147) = 6317948
