So the greatest common factor 756,8836 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 38,471
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 17898
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/17898
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 756/38,8836/471 is 4/17898
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 38,471 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,471) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(38,471) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(38,471) = ( 38 × 471 ) / 1
LCM(38,471) = 17898 / 1
LCM(38,471) = 17898
