Lets's calculate LCM of 221,8488
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1875848
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1875848
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3846/221,6530/8488 is 2/1875848
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 221,8488 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(221,8488) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(221,8488) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(221,8488) = ( 221 × 8488 ) / 1
LCM(221,8488) = 1875848 / 1
LCM(221,8488) = 1875848
