Lets's calculate LCM of 373,893
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 333089
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/333089
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8386/373,4146/893 is 2/333089
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 373,893 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(373,893) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(373,893) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(373,893) = ( 373 × 893 ) / 1
LCM(373,893) = 333089 / 1
LCM(373,893) = 333089
