Lets's calculate LCM of 921,9616
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8856336
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/8856336
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 738/921,2466/9616 is 18/8856336
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 921,9616 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(921,9616) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(921,9616) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(921,9616) = ( 921 × 9616 ) / 1
LCM(921,9616) = 8856336 / 1
LCM(921,9616) = 8856336
