Lets's calculate LCM of 837,2073
3 | 837, 2073 |
279, 691 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 279 x 691 = 578367
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/578367
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8858/837,8706/2073 is 2/578367
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 837,2073 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(837,2073) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(837,2073) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(837,2073) = ( 837 × 2073 ) / 3
LCM(837,2073) = 1735101 / 3
LCM(837,2073) = 578367
