So the greatest common factor 8268,5556 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 243,895
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 217485
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/217485
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8268/243,5556/895 is 12/217485
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 243,895 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(243,895) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(243,895) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(243,895) = ( 243 × 895 ) / 1
LCM(243,895) = 217485 / 1
LCM(243,895) = 217485
