Lets's calculate LCM of 560,3569
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1998640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/1998640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8442/560,7821/3569 is 9/1998640
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 560,3569 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(560,3569) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(560,3569) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(560,3569) = ( 560 × 3569 ) / 1
LCM(560,3569) = 1998640 / 1
LCM(560,3569) = 1998640
