Lets's calculate LCM of 221,3942
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 871182
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/871182
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8479/221,9423/3942 is 1/871182
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 221,3942 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(221,3942) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(221,3942) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(221,3942) = ( 221 × 3942 ) / 1
LCM(221,3942) = 871182 / 1
LCM(221,3942) = 871182
