Lets's calculate LCM of 844,4543
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3834292
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3834292
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3999/844,2146/4543 is 1/3834292
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 844,4543 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(844,4543) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(844,4543) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(844,4543) = ( 844 × 4543 ) / 1
LCM(844,4543) = 3834292 / 1
LCM(844,4543) = 3834292
