Lets's calculate LCM of 844,903
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 762132
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/762132
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 832/844,686/903 is 2/762132
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 844,903 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(844,903) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(844,903) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(844,903) = ( 844 × 903 ) / 1
LCM(844,903) = 762132 / 1
LCM(844,903) = 762132
