Lets's calculate LCM of 847,7202
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6100094
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/6100094
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4956/847,4942/7202 is 14/6100094
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 847,7202 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(847,7202) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(847,7202) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(847,7202) = ( 847 × 7202 ) / 1
LCM(847,7202) = 6100094 / 1
LCM(847,7202) = 6100094
