Lets's calculate LCM of 856,3787
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3241672
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3241672
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8926/856,1118/3787 is 2/3241672
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 856,3787 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(856,3787) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(856,3787) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(856,3787) = ( 856 × 3787 ) / 1
LCM(856,3787) = 3241672 / 1
LCM(856,3787) = 3241672
