Lets's calculate LCM of 389,8213
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3194857
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/3194857
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5584/389,8944/8213 is 16/3194857
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 389,8213 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(389,8213) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(389,8213) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(389,8213) = ( 389 × 8213 ) / 1
LCM(389,8213) = 3194857 / 1
LCM(389,8213) = 3194857
