Lets's calculate LCM of 33,830
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 27390
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 29/27390
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1218/33,7337/830 is 29/27390
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 33,830 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(33,830) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(33,830) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(33,830) = ( 33 × 830 ) / 1
LCM(33,830) = 27390 / 1
LCM(33,830) = 27390
