Lets's calculate LCM of 736,2823
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2077728
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2077728
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3501/736,4197/2823 is 3/2077728
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 736,2823 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(736,2823) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(736,2823) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(736,2823) = ( 736 × 2823 ) / 1
LCM(736,2823) = 2077728 / 1
LCM(736,2823) = 2077728
