Lets's calculate LCM of 965,4788
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4620420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/4620420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8638/965,2842/4788 is 14/4620420
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 965,4788 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(965,4788) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(965,4788) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(965,4788) = ( 965 × 4788 ) / 1
LCM(965,4788) = 4620420 / 1
LCM(965,4788) = 4620420
