Lets's calculate LCM of 422,2929
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1236038
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1236038
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9836/422,7138/2929 is 2/1236038
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 422,2929 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(422,2929) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(422,2929) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(422,2929) = ( 422 × 2929 ) / 1
LCM(422,2929) = 1236038 / 1
LCM(422,2929) = 1236038
