Lets's calculate LCM of 949,3157
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2995993
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2995993
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8212/949,8973/3157 is 1/2995993
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 949,3157 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(949,3157) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(949,3157) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(949,3157) = ( 949 × 3157 ) / 1
LCM(949,3157) = 2995993 / 1
LCM(949,3157) = 2995993
