Lets's calculate LCM of 818,4667
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3817606
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/3817606
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3876/818,3540/4667 is 12/3817606
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 818,4667 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(818,4667) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(818,4667) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(818,4667) = ( 818 × 4667 ) / 1
LCM(818,4667) = 3817606 / 1
LCM(818,4667) = 3817606
