So the greatest common factor 8950,1686 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 891,8522
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7593102
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7593102
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8950/891,1686/8522 is 2/7593102
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 891,8522 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(891,8522) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(891,8522) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(891,8522) = ( 891 × 8522 ) / 1
LCM(891,8522) = 7593102 / 1
LCM(891,8522) = 7593102
