Lets's calculate LCM of 821,368
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 302128
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/302128
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7623/821,4842/368 is 9/302128
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 821,368 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(821,368) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(821,368) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(821,368) = ( 821 × 368 ) / 1
LCM(821,368) = 302128 / 1
LCM(821,368) = 302128
