Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4420/848,8988/8652 is 4/1834224
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 848,8652 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(848,8652) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(848,8652) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(848,8652) = ( 848 × 8652 ) / 4
LCM(848,8652) = 7336896 / 4
LCM(848,8652) = 1834224
