Lets's calculate LCM of 841,8259
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6945819
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6945819
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5526/841,9740/8259 is 2/6945819
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 841,8259 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(841,8259) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(841,8259) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(841,8259) = ( 841 × 8259 ) / 1
LCM(841,8259) = 6945819 / 1
LCM(841,8259) = 6945819
