Lets's calculate LCM of 209,7438
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1554542
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1554542
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8331/209,5877/7438 is 3/1554542
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 209,7438 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(209,7438) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(209,7438) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(209,7438) = ( 209 × 7438 ) / 1
LCM(209,7438) = 1554542 / 1
LCM(209,7438) = 1554542
