So the greatest common factor 7992,8852 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 242,8351
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2020942
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/2020942
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7992/242,8852/8351 is 4/2020942
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 242,8351 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(242,8351) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(242,8351) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(242,8351) = ( 242 × 8351 ) / 1
LCM(242,8351) = 2020942 / 1
LCM(242,8351) = 2020942
