So the greatest common factor 384,2244 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 848,9879
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8377392
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/8377392
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 384/848,2244/9879 is 12/8377392
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 848,9879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(848,9879) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(848,9879) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(848,9879) = ( 848 × 9879 ) / 1
LCM(848,9879) = 8377392 / 1
LCM(848,9879) = 8377392
