Lets's calculate LCM of 837,9852
3 | 837, 9852 |
279, 3284 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 279 x 3284 = 2748708
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/2748708
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6648/837,3512/9852 is 8/2748708
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 837,9852 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(837,9852) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(837,9852) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(837,9852) = ( 837 × 9852 ) / 3
LCM(837,9852) = 8246124 / 3
LCM(837,9852) = 2748708
