Lets's calculate LCM of 841,8881
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7468921
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7468921
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8609/841,7971/8881 is 1/7468921
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 841,8881 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(841,8881) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(841,8881) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(841,8881) = ( 841 × 8881 ) / 1
LCM(841,8881) = 7468921 / 1
LCM(841,8881) = 7468921
