Lets's calculate LCM of 873,4966
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4335318
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/4335318
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8356/873,7432/4966 is 4/4335318
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 873,4966 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(873,4966) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(873,4966) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(873,4966) = ( 873 × 4966 ) / 1
LCM(873,4966) = 4335318 / 1
LCM(873,4966) = 4335318
