Lets's calculate LCM of 837,469
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 392553
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/392553
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3961/837,6647/469 is 17/392553
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 837,469 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(837,469) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(837,469) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(837,469) = ( 837 × 469 ) / 1
LCM(837,469) = 392553 / 1
LCM(837,469) = 392553
