Lets's calculate LCM of 42,899
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 37758
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/37758
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3718/42,9713/899 is 11/37758
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 42,899 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,899) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,899) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(42,899) = ( 42 × 899 ) / 1
LCM(42,899) = 37758 / 1
LCM(42,899) = 37758
