Lets's calculate LCM of 837,905
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 757485
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 101/757485
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3838/837,9797/905 is 101/757485
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 837,905 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(837,905) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(837,905) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(837,905) = ( 837 × 905 ) / 1
LCM(837,905) = 757485 / 1
LCM(837,905) = 757485
