We found the factors 7461,8430 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7461,8430 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 847,937
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 793639
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/793639
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7461/847,8430/937 is 3/793639
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 847,937 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(847,937) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(847,937) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(847,937) = ( 847 × 937 ) / 1
LCM(847,937) = 793639 / 1
LCM(847,937) = 793639
