Lets's calculate LCM of 891,8447
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7526277
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7526277
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 732/891,1142/8447 is 2/7526277
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 891,8447 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(891,8447) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(891,8447) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(891,8447) = ( 891 × 8447 ) / 1
LCM(891,8447) = 7526277 / 1
LCM(891,8447) = 7526277
